Beans On Toast The War On War
[Verse 1]
1, 2, 3, 4
I'm not sure if you heard my last album
But some of that shit was true
I've given up smoking cigarettes, I stopped taking cocaine too
And I don't do MDMA no more, but I do still sing that song
I don't regret all the times that I did and I did have a lot of fun
[Chorus]
And the war on drugs ain't a war worth fighting
What about a war on misunderstanding?
What about a war on stupid politicians?
What about a war on organised religions?
What about a war on war, what about a moment of peace
What about if we don't have a bloody war, we just spark up this spliff
[Verse 2]
Well we're always told to remember, remember and never forget about World War One and World War Two and the tragedy and death that came with that
We keep it in our classrooms and we embed it in our minds as if it was an achievement for human kind
Well what if we teach something different and what if we talk of the times when humans succeeded in living together without going out of their minds
And what if we teach about hope and of kind generosity
Understanding that everyone lives here together and everyone's got the same needs
Take the boom-box out of boom town and put it in the Gaza Strip and get my mate Mike to DJ it and drop some heavy shit
And maybe, just maybe, everyone will come and dance, pass a couple of pills around and they might even forget about the past
Well that sounds like a f..cking stupid ignorant idea, if anybody out there's got a one, baby I'm all ears
[Chorus]
And the war on drugs ain't a war worth fighting
What about a war on misunderstanding?
What about a war on stupid politicians?
What about a war on organised religions?
What about a war on war, what about a moment of peace
What about if we don't even have a bloody war, we just spark up this spliff
