a knock on the door there’s a letter from the war
saying greetings we want you

and why must i kill against my will
i just cant figure it out

casualties pile up each day
cemeteries are overflowing
leaders of the world
but the death list keeps right on growin’
and what does a mother get in return
for the life of the son shes lost
a few measly pennies a month
a medal a babe and a doggone cost
stop the war now
good god hear me say
dont put it off another day
everybody sing
stop the war now
dont put it off another day

enough blood has been shed by the wounded and the dead
enough blood has been shed by the wounded and the dead
ow
enough blood has been shed by the wounded and the dead
ow
listen
stop the war now
good god everybody
dont put it off another day
this is a message to the leaders of the world
give peace a chance
aww
