Lyrics War & Peace - Ryuichi Sakamoto, Cornelius

War & Peace

Is war as old as gravity?
If I love peace, do I have to love trees?
Are there that like peace and animals that like war?
Is peace quiet?
Is making war an instinct we inherited from our hunting or farming ancestors?
Were farmers the first warriors?
Do we love without thinking?
Do we do the right thing without thinking?
When children fight with brothers and sisters, are they learning to make war?
How do we test the limits of our bodies without war?
Why do they compare war to a man, and peace to a woman?
Peace is unpredictable.
Why is war so exciting?
War is the best game, and the worst life
Is peace the hardest work?
Is peace a time of tension?
What are the different kinds of victory?
In a war?
In a race?
Is despair a solution?
Why does every soul say: never forget
