Knew Song

johnny woke up in the morning and his face was red
there's a dog in the yard
and the cat, it's dead
tell me, what good is a war going to do him?
the bullets rip through him
and all my life I wonder what a mess we've gotten ourselves into
and I struggle
and I strive
to get these knots out of my life
and they...
they built a plane and it's as fast as hell
it was swell
and it could kill a million dead
in the desert there's a baby crying
mother's gone and his face is red
now tell me, what good is war gonna do him?
as the mutts starts to chew him up
he's nothing but a corpse in the sand
now johnny woke up in the morning
now his hands are red
daddy's in the yard cause now mommy is dead
tell me, what good is a war gonna do him?
as the television rips right through him
and all my life I wonder what a mess we've gotten ourselves into
and we struggle
and we strive
to get these knots out our my lives
and all my life I have
been waiting so long for you to be there with me
because I know one day we can be as one
