Lyrics

Why! (Glynne Davies)

Why do Wars exist in this modern age
Why is killing part of the politicians rage
Why do we think this war will end all wars
Why do leaders of countries break all of their laws

Chorus
War is legal murder, Why should this be
If I commit a murder I don?t expect to be free

Why is the power of the leader often misused
Why?s ?An Eye for an Eye? often confused
Why do we think the smart bombs target as it hits
Why don?t we think, it blows people to bits.

Why do we over produce ammunition and guns
Why do mothers have to weep for the loss their sons
Why do religions create, hatred and fear
Why do they pray and shed their false tear

Why do they say, this always will be
Why are the laws different for country and me
Why tolerate war, the killing and genocide
Why give the fanatics, excuses for suicide

Why not a law of the Earth as well as a law of the land
Agreed by nations, religions, surely not difficult to plan
Where the world court solves disagreements and lays down the law
And stops the need for bloodshed, destroying, killing and war

Unlike John Lennon?s Imagine this is not just a dream
It?s possible NOW!, to start on the scheme
It will take some time to develop, The Earth Law
But at least we wont have to say it?s a War to End War
