Chrisette Michele - Nobody Wins a War lyrics

No one will win the war, see families only die And birds won't soar the sky and there'll be no sun to shine No country wins a war, the gra** won't grow the same The moon won't shine at night and there's a losing fight Nobody wins a war Now what would you do, what would you say If you heard a bomb was headed your way? Where would you go, what would you bring If you heard a bomb was headed your way? Now what would you do, what would you say If you heard a rocket was headed your way? Where would you go, what would you bring? No soldier wins a war, see soldiers only die And mamas only cry just for a conscious flag to fly That's why nobody wins a war, no war is worth your life See that's a priceless pride, no war is worth your blood Nobody wins a war Now what would you do, what would you say If you heard a bomb was headed your way? Where would you go, what would you bring If you heard a bomb was headed your way? Now what would you do, what would you say If you heard a rocket was headed your way? Where would you go, what would you bring Tell me who would you pray to? Now what would you do, what would you say If you heard a bomb was headed your way? Where would you go, what would you bring If you heard a bomb was headed your way? Now what would you do, what would you say If you heard a rocket was headed your way? Where would you go, what would you bring? No one wins a war No one wins a war, no one wins No one wins a war No one wins a war, no one wins No one wins a war No one wins a war, no one wins No one wins a war No one wins a war, no one wins No one wins a war Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war Nobody wins a war We, the people speak, speak We want to be free of this sick bureaucracy No more d**h tolls with our morning coffee Oh, government, you have lost your feeling for life It is war that you reap But the loss is too great and the pain is too deep The scars do not heal Your system is thoughtless and your vision is weak Your actions are hurtful You never find what you seek You make the sky a storm You destroy the earth, make possibilities bleak Your lies are your destruction, your justice stinks Your pride is maniacal, you are the bearer of grief Your win is shallow, your truth is oblique Your patriotism is garbage, it rots and it reeks Of d**h in the wind, the foul stench of men Basking in their cruelty, rejoicing in their sin You give up and give over so easily to the darker side Because of your pride, you risk all of humanity You send my children to murder human beings Families they do not yet know, people they have never seen You send my children to war Without exasperating dialogue to get to the meat An equal understanding, as if there isn't even a possibility for peace But there is always a possibility for peace As un-perfect as we are, we should in all ways reach Deep, deep down in our beings Oh, this wicked, wicked system of things As our grandmothers say Will soon be no more, will soon be no more Because nobody, no one ever wins a war
