Everybody
Don't want no war no
No, no, no
We're all too young to die
Too young to die

So many people
All around the world, yeah
All around the world
Seen their brothers fry
(I seen your brother fry)
What's the motive?
In that madness
Oh, I wish I knew, you made my people cry
(You made my people cry)
So politicians
This time
I think you'd better keep your distance
Say, sing it loud
We're too young to

Do-do-do-do-do

Da-da-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Da-da-do, da-da-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Da-da-do, da-da-do

Yo, it's the message?
All gone when we drop the bomb
Can the politicians reassure?
'Cause here I am Presuming that
Nobody wants a war
There's so many people praying
Just to find out if they're staying
But lately stately governments
And disillusioned leaders
Are 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 mesmerised?
Do you know which side you're standing?
'Cause when it falls don't take us all
Gotta know what we're demanding
I never lie, can't you hear the cry?
Coming from on high
We're too young to die

Do-do-do-do-do
Da-da-do, da-da-do-do

Do-do-do-do-do
Da-da-do, da-da-do-do
