Lyrics

No Winning Side To War
copyright 2018

Words and Music By Linda Cullum and Tom Tracy

Saw the news this morning turned it off real fast
30 US soldiers died on a lonely jungle path
Why oh why and how many more?
Who decides just what we're fighting for
There are no winning sides to war

My neighbor is a flower child
Dead set against the war
Didn't show up at the draft board
Now they're knocking at his door
Why oh why and how many more?
Who decides just what we're fighting for
There are no winning sides to war

Put on your mask
Here comes the tear gas
We're running down the road
With no place left to go
When all is done
Nobody's really won
A distance song
When all we love is gone

In this civil war our fight's been taken to the streets
The law is now unlawful and they're on a killing
streak
Why oh why and how many more?
Who decides just what we're fighting for
There is no winning side to war
There is no winning side to war
There are no winning sides to war
