Show me a smile on your silly face 'Cause I'm getting tired of this human race My darling The eyes of a child hasn't went away And how many heroes have we killed today? I can fly higher than an airplane And I have the voice of a thousand hurricanes My darling Men of destruction reap iniquity When heroes of courage die with dignity How many weapons did I help create? And how many lives will it devastate? My darling I think of all the days in my life Where I could have done something more Yes I remember the days in my life Where I could have done something more There is never a day that goes by That's a good day to die Please open your eyes to the millions of lives That will senselessly die in the wars I think of all the days in my life Where I could have done something more Yeah, I remember the days in my life Where I should have done something more I think of all the days in my life Where I could have done something more Yes, I remember the days in my life Where I should have done something more There was never a day that goes by That's a good day to die Please open your eyes, oh There was never a day that went by That's a good day to die Won't you please close your eyes? For the millions of lives Who have senselessly died in a war?
