War Is Not Healthy
War is not healthy for adults and children
It scars and it maims, it blames and it kills them
War is not healthy, but no one should claim
That pain that's inflicted could be worth the gain
It's money in the pockets of the armament makers
It's fame and it's glory for generals and dictators
It's fear and it's shame and real human suffering
For the ones you love most are the ones who have nothing
It's democracy (democracy)
It's lunacy (it's lunacy)
It's history (it's history)
It's victory
'Cause war is not healthy for adults and children
War is not healthy for adults and children
It's armchair warriors sucking their gums
It's merchants of horror polishing guns
It's praising the troops and waving the flag
It's widows and orphans carrying the bag
It's democracy (it's democracy)
It's lunacy (lunacy)
It's history (it's history)
It's victory
Oh, war is not healthy for adults and children
I said war is not healthy for adults and children
Hey, yeah, go!
Keep your head down
Democracy
It's lunacy
Listen to me
It's not healthy at all
It scars and it maims
Oh, yeah
War is not healthy
Whoa, whoa
Listen up
War is not healthy for adults and children
It scars and it maims, it blames and it kills them
War is not healthy, but no one should claim
That pain that's inflicted could be worth the gain
(War is not healthy) hell no, war is not healthy
(War is not healthy) whoa, we're sayin', "Listen here"
(War is not healthy) for adults and children
(War is not healthy)
Yeah
No, no, no, no
No
It scars and it maims, it blames and it kills them
War is not healthy, but no one should claim
That pain that's inflicted could be worth the gain
It's money in the pockets of the armament makers
It's fame and it's glory for generals and dictators
It's fear and it's shame and real human suffering
For the ones you love most are the ones who have nothing
It's democracy (democracy)
It's lunacy (it's lunacy)
It's history (it's history)
It's victory
'Cause war is not healthy for adults and children
War is not healthy for adults and children
It's armchair warriors sucking their gums
It's merchants of horror polishing guns
It's praising the troops and waving the flag
It's widows and orphans carrying the bag
It's democracy (it's democracy)
It's lunacy (lunacy)
It's history (it's history)
It's victory
Oh, war is not healthy for adults and children
I said war is not healthy for adults and children
Hey, yeah, go!
Keep your head down
Democracy
It's lunacy
Listen to me
It's not healthy at all
It scars and it maims
Oh, yeah
War is not healthy
Whoa, whoa
Listen up
War is not healthy for adults and children
It scars and it maims, it blames and it kills them
War is not healthy, but no one should claim
That pain that's inflicted could be worth the gain
(War is not healthy) hell no, war is not healthy
(War is not healthy) whoa, we're sayin', "Listen here"
(War is not healthy) for adults and children
(War is not healthy)
Yeah
No, no, no, no
No
