No More War
N o more soldiers coming home in boxes
O ver grandiose visions of arrogant leaders
M en and women dying in the prime of life
O n foreign soil, far from family and loved ones
R isking life and limb for some abstract principle
E ntering Heaven prematurely, Earthly wings clipped
W rite your Congressmen, your Senators, the President
A nd tell them we're tired of being the world's policeman
R est not easy 'til Peace, lasting Peace, reigns supreme
