Lyrics
War Games
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
How many homes must you break to feel good
How many men does it take to burn wood
You just call and say they're needed
Face the jury, guilty pleaded
Wargames, and I want nothing to do with wargames
I want nothing to do with wargames
You say you're working so hard for peace talks
You say that in my back yard a little rain falls
I go backward, you go forward
I'm not listening to your war words
Wargames, and I want nothing to do with wargames
I want nothing to do with wargames
You know what it takes to turn a good man's head
You know what it takes to make a good man see red
I'm not listening to what you're saying
'Cause I know what you've been playing - wargames
Wargames, and I want nothing to do with wargames
I want nothing to do with wargames
I want nothing to do with wargames
I want nothing to do with wargames
