What is the meaning of war?
Pointless if you ask me.
Young men so strong.
Full of future feeling free
Doomed to die under a foreign sky
Bullets fly bombs explode
The earth shakes. The earth groans
Mothers cry as they receive the flag.
Then they know there child is truly dead
War is pointless if you ask me.
All it does is kill young men and women in the name of democracy.
As children cry for fathers not seen.
As Wives sob for lovers now gone.
War is pointless don't you see.
That is only if you ask me.
