Without Wars

The world is far from being a perfect place Pretty sure that's a well known fact If so, world peace would be the name of the game Instead of killing and unprovoked attacks It's hard to imagine what that would be like It hasn't ever happened before It sure would take a whole lot of getting used to So foreign, a world without wars What would we do with our war machines Dismantle them and sell them for scrap With no further wars, countries aligned as one No need for any of that crap Is this old guy dreaming, did I nod off for a while Better belt myself on the noggin If I happen to survive for another hundred years More likely to see ghosts and goblins

A major problem that peace would throw a lot of people out of work, Jack! You and I would opt for peace, Jack, but sadly we are in a crippling minority!

You're right... peace would throw a bunch of people out of work! Sad!

The arms manufacturers would be in uproar if there was peace. Tom
