Everybody, don't want no war, 'cause we're all too young to die Many people, all around the world now, seen their brothers fry? What's the motive? In your madness you've made my people cry So politicians, this time keep your distance Cause we're too young to die You know we're too young to die, You know we're too young to die, You know we're too young to die, You know we're too young to die. What's the answer? to our problems. I think we've gone to high, Little children never said a word now, but still they have to die It won't be long, dancing like we do now, To put this sad world right So you don't worry, suffer no more, Cause we're too young to die, You know we're too young to die, You know we're too young to die, You know we're too young to die, You know we're too young to die. You know we're too young to die, You know we're too young to die, You know we're too young to die, You know we're too young to die. All gone when they drop the bomb. Can politicians reassure? 'cause here I am presuming that nobody here wants a war. There's so many people praying just to find out if they're staying. But lately, stately governments and disillusioned leader, So full of empty promises but rarely do they feed us, Put our backs against the wall, or don't we count at all. Can you decide, are you mesmerized. Do you know which side you're standing? Cause when it falls gonna take us all. Gotta know what we're demanding, I never lie, can't hear you cry, Coming from on high, We're too young to die!
