War Sucks

Lyrics

America, no mother, child at your breast Your apple pie is just obviously best But you have moved away out west You know I cannot finish this — you know the rest War sucks!

Well, listen to me, my friend General Fox I have something to say today, you know I don't have much to tell you, my friend, but You might not like what I say — You know war sucks!

Lyndon, our good general, he does weep When he sends his troops out into battle I'm sick to death of your endless prattle 'Cause you remember what happened to Hansel and Gretel War sucks!

America, America, God shed his grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood Sea to shining sea — you know war sucks You know war sucks!

Well, Mister God, are you sad this week That we treat each other bad? You know your silence is part of a fad You know that you do nothing — just makes me mad War sucks! War sucks!
