War war is stupid and people are stupid And love means nothing in some strange quarters War war is stupid and people are stupid And I heard the banging of hearts and fingers War! People fill the world with narrow confidence Like a child at birth, a man with no defence What's mine's my own, I won't give it to you No matter what you say, no matter what you do Now we're fighting in our hearts Fighting in the streets Won't somebody help me? War war is stupid and people are stupid And love means nothing in some strange quarters War war is stupid and people are stupid And I heard the banging of hearts and fingers War! Man is far behind in the search of something new Like a Philistine, we're burning witches too This world of hate must be designed for you It matters what you say, it matters what you do Now we're fighting in our hearts Fighting in the streets Won't somebody help me? War war is stupid and people are stupid And love means nothing in some strange quarters War war is stupid and people are stupid And I heard the banging of hearts and fingers War! After the bird has flown Walked ten thousand miles back home You can't do that to me, no, you can't do that to me
