Stop The War Now

All right, yeah
Make the sound of peace
And sing now
(Stop the war) ow (now)
Everybody
Don’t put it off another day
Make your voices roar
(Stop the war) ow (now)
Just like thunder, y’all
(Don't put it off) hey, another day
Sing a song now
(Stop the war) ow (now)
Listen to me, y’all
(Don't put it off) ow, another day
Listen to me
A knock on the door
There’s a letter from the war
Sayin', greetings, we want you
If I refuse to fight
They say that that ain’t right
And time you’ll have to do
Somebody please tell me
What is war all about
And why must I kill against my will
I just can’t figure it out
Oh, stop the war now
Good God, hear me saying
Don’t put it off another day
Everybody saying
Stop the war now
Now, now, now
Don’t put it off another day
All we got to do is listen
(Give peace a chance)
Don’t throw another life away
Listen to me now
This is bout all the soldiers
That are dead and gone today
If you asked them to fight again
Huh, what do you think they’d say
I’m not trying to be funny
I’m just trying to get my point across
War is world’s enemy number one
And it’s time that we called it off
Ow, stop the war, now
Good God, hear me saying
Don’t put it off another day
Everybody singing
(Stop the war) ow
Now, now, now, now
Don’t put it off another day
All we got to do is, Lord
Give peace a chance
And don’t, don’t throw
Another life away, oh
War casualties pile up each day
Cemeteries are overflowing
The leaders of the world claim victory’s near
But the death list keeps right on growing
And what does a mother get in return
For the life of the son she’s lost
A few measly pennies a month
A medal, a grave and a doggone cross
I said, stop the war now
Good God, hear me saying
Don’t put it off another day
Everybody sing
Stop the war, now
Now, now, now
Don’t put it off another day
Why can’t we just
(Give peace a chance)
Please don’t throw another life away
Can’t you see
Enough blood’s been she’d
By the wounded and the dead
Enough blood’s been she’d
By the wounded and the dead, ohh
Enough blood’s been she’d
By the wounded and the dead, ohh
(Stop the war) listen (now)
Good God, everybody
(Don't put it off) ow
Not another day now
(Stop the war) ow
Now, now, now, now
(Don't put it off) ow, another day
This is a message to the
Leaders of the world
(Give peace a chance)
Oh, let’s make
Tomorrow a brighter day
Stand up
