:::::: too young to die ::::::

everybody
don't want no war
'cos we're too young to die
so many people
all around the world
seen their brothers fry
what's the motive?
in your madness
you've made my people cry
so politicians this time
keep your distance
'cos we're too young to die

what's the answer?
to our problems
i think we've gone too high
little children
never said a word now
but still they have to die
it won't be long
dancing like we do now
to put this sad world right
so don't you worry
suffer no more
'cos we're too young to die
you know we're too young to die

all gone when they drop the bomb
can the politicians reassure?
'cos here I am presuming that
nobody wants a war
there's so many people praying
just to find out if they're staying
but lately stately governments
and disillusioned leaders
so full of empty promises
but rarely do they feed us
put our backs against the wall
or don't we count at all?

can you decide
are you mesmerised
do you know which side you're standing?
'cos when it falls gonna take us all
gotta know what we're demanding
i never lie
can't your hear the cry
coming from on high
we're too young to die
