Gordon David (1st September 1959 / Edinburgh)
Just Another War, Just Another War, Just Another War.
Just another war
Fighting insurgents in Iraq
Call in the Air Force to attack
And just go home
Just another war
Heat seeking missiles everywhere
Missing the targets, they don’t care
They’ll go home
Just another war
I don’t think you know what to do
Just a stupid war
The killing keeps on going on
How long will this war carry on?
Just another war
Boy soldiers killing, on their own
The stars and stripes look all alone
To everyone
Just another war
For the black gold, or something else
Are you wasting your nations wealth?
that’s not done
Just another war
Your War on Terror’s crazy too
Exit strategy? No can do?
The killing keeps on going on
Our peaceful way of life has gone
Just another war
You can’t keep all the oil, you know
Planting seeds and watching them grow
Will the Grim Reaper let you go
You know you’ll reap just what you sow
Just another war
You’ll leave the country in a mess
Don’t think you know, what’s for the best
A stupid war
Mothers and children laid to waste
Terrorist claims need to be faced
Just Another War
Just Another War
Just Another War
