Fight War

Cover art for Fight War showing a graphic "No Bombs" symbol

I’m not mad and I’m not mean
But look at all these human beings
Splattered on my TV screen
I got to fight war

I’ve got a girl who understands
We got a lot of future plans
Like a baby in each of my hands
I got to fight war

What are you asking me for?
I don’t know the first thing

They say the Left ain’t really strong
They say the Right is really wrong
Send them all back to Vietnam
And let ’em fight war

Give me a bong and Playstation
Some dirty Japanese animation
Hell yes… I can build you a nation
Let me fight war

What are you asking me for?
I don’t know the real thing
But every time I hear that sound
I know I’ll end up underground

Fight war! Fight war! Fight war! Fight war! Fight war!

It’s a first person shooter game
And you’re allowed to kill and maim
In real life it’s just a shame
We gotta fight war

We ought to fight hate ideas
Save a couple of trees I guess
And if you want to be free then yes
You got to fight war

I’m not mad and I’m not mean
Just another human being
Dying on your TV screen
What the fuck… I was just nineteen

Fight war! Fight war! Fight war! Fight war! Fight war!
What are you asking me for?
I don’t know the real thing
But every time I hear that sound
I know I’ll end up underground

Fight war! Fight war! Fight war! Fight war! Fight war!
