I've been watching the war on the news, and I had to rant a bit. I've believed in working for peace my whole life. Sadly, the human race seems to walk backwards more than forwards on that topic, but I still believe peace is possible.
War! Yeah! It sucks!
Mystique Muse
War! Yeah! It sucks!
Why do we slay each other
We kill our sister and brother
For millennia we have perfected the art
It will likely take millennia to take it apart
We make guns, tanks and planes
To claim each other’s turf
We even have bombs
That can kill the Earth
We are so much better than this!
It’s time to put down our guns and fists.
‘cause War! Yeah! It sucks!
Let’s look into each other’s eyes
It’s time to stop all the lies
You can see no borders from space
It’s time to make the whole planet our place
A child must be taught to hate
Adults can learn from our children and change our fate
‘cause War! Yeah! It sucks!
We keep saying that we’re looking for peace
It can happen but each of us must do our piece
Let’s all join hands and learn from each other
It’s time to remember that the Earth is our mother
Peace is not an impossible goal
It’s up to us if we want our lives to be whole
In the future the illusion of money will not exist
Working and living in peace will be the gist
I hope we will reject war’s caprice
And in the future, choose to embrace peace!
Peace! Yeah! It’s love!

I love this and I love your optimism! Lately I'm not sure I share it though! You do a fine job in these lyrics of making the case for peace and ending war! I just hope the world listens to your wise words!!

A classic protest lyric and so very timely. Nice work.
