War Party - Lyrics by Eddy Grant


Lyrics
You invite me to a war partyme no wanna go.
Everybody seem to be inviting me to - a war partyme no wanna go.
Heard about the last oneso thanks but-nothank youyou.
You killed off all the Indiansand you killed off all the slaves.
But no quiteso you killed off the remains.
You a look for meand I'm looking for you.I can't believe what they say about you is true.
That you're a bad star just like Pharoah.
You killed the children just like Pharoah.
Now you send a ticket for meit don't have R.S.V.P.
Oh Lordit's a war partyme no wanna go. . ..
You've invited all our wise men many time before
To dance around your fires and even out your scores.
And when the tolls taken of the valiant and the brave
The only decoration is the one upon the graves.
Oh noyou're a bad star just like Pharoah
You killed the children just like Pharoah.
Now you send a ticket for meand it don't have R.S.V.P.
Oh Lordit's a war partyme no wanna go. . . .
Please don't send no ticket for menodon't send no ticket.
Nodon't send no ticket for meif don't have R.S.V.P.
Oh Lordit's a war partyme no wanna go. . . .
Do you wanna gosay nodo you wanna gosay no.
Me no wanna go right nowme no wanna go right now.
They invite me to a war party me no wanna go. . . .
