The ONLY reason waging war is to stop more war.

I never fought with my parents when they would dictate declarin'
this was their house and these were the rules
I sat an listened ta teachers pontificatin' an preachin' bout what
I could and couldn't do in their schools

Now I'm 9 ta 5 workin' for some arrogant jerk an I wanna tell 'em off as soon as I can
but I just take it on home an try ta leave it alone cuz I avoid a fight whenever I can
All my life I been dissed an even though I was pissed I checked my anger and my rage at the door but
Terrorists insist ta settle problems with fists an now I found something' worth fightin' for

-chorus-

I'm fightin' for war no more, fightin' for war no more,
fightin' for war no more, fightin' for war no more
Too many lost to ignore can't turn the cheek anymore
till every nation is safer that's what we're fightin' for
we gotta settle the score let the children hit the floor no more, I'm fightin' for war no more

Well you can say you don't care cuz it's way over there, you say they can't get to us anymore
Life in America was heaven right before 9/11 but now there's more ta defend than the shore
An if your freedom is worth fightin' for heaven on earth how can you sit and watch it all go ta hell?
Cuz when civilians are hurt even on enemy turf nobody's ringin' da liberty bell

So for all we hold true we do what we gotta do an pray these two wrongs make everything right
Cuz I'm a peaceful man but I've had all I can stand and tonight peace is my reason ta fight

-chorus-
