Moments of pleasure, in a world of pain
Working together, only to fight again
If we wait for the world leaders to decide
Who will die first?
So don't wait no more
Tell me, make rock not war, what are we dying for?
Rock not war, nobody wins
Rock not war, what are we trying for?
And the fools rush in, don't they
For the grand beginning of the end
Pulses are racing, you know the blade may fall
Destinies tracing, I sing to a great star-fall
And you know there's a real answer
But they won't let it be told
We've heard the lies before
Tell me, make rock not war, what are we dying for?
Rock not war, nobody wins
Rock not war, what are we trying for?
And the fools rush in, don't they
For the grand beginning of the end
The hourglass turns over, and time is running low
Will the sandman's pollen, bring sleep before we know?
Yeah, you know there's a real answer
And we've died more than been told
So don't wait no more
Tell me, make rock not war, what are we dying for?
Rock not war, nobody wins
Rock not war, what are we trying for?
And the fools rush in, don't they
For the grand beginning of the end
Make rock not war
Make rock not war
Make rock not war
Make rock not war
Make rock not war
