war what for

In our world we're always at war, 
fighting sometimes we don't know what for,
thousands die that are fathers, and brothers, 
sons, daughters, sisters and mothers,
They're shooting at someone whose younger than them, 
who's life just began and nows going to end, 
Why does so many people have to die in a war, 
cause two men can't agree and dont know what for,
It takes thousands to die for them to talk peace, 
and asking the other for their fire to cease,
But it's a waste of time cuz they agreed on it all,
except for something dumb like a nickel and wall
 So thousands will die for this war they made up, 
for reasons madeup, and all made up by corrupt,
 Started a war, tell you fight not what for, 
make a fortune selling weapons from their online store,
 What's sad and corrupt and will never be right, 
the weapons they sell to their enemies we fight,
 The thousands who died getting shot suicide, 
died for men they didn't even know lied
 Next time they talk war let's turn it around, let 
these leaders fight each other til one's dead on
 the ground.
 If we made that a law, there'd be no more war at all, 
cause these leaders will think twice when it's there life that might fall.
