Why is there war?
Oh, what a bore!
Running and jumping,
sweating and bleeding.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
I win, I lose,
what does it matter?
You win, You lose,
what does it matter?
No one dies, We all die,
what does it matter?
One sad person, all sad persons,
What do THEY care?
THEY got the land, or the money, or whatever.
We got death, and sadness, and pain.
What does it matter?
