The War Lyrics

Bill Hicks The War

So now we talk about destruction
'Bout the way that we might go
I've seen the headlines in the papers
The truth is more than we should know
Somebody wake me from this nightmare
Is this a TV horror show?
We can run and we can walk
We can sit and we can talk
But we won't stop the war, oh no
Silent whispers in the ice-machine today
Calling for my brain in silent ways
No more changes in this world in which we live in
And I don't know who the guy is
Who's talking with the friendly grin
I never heard of any bargain
I didn't know what's goin' on
We can shout and we pray
It doesn't matter anyway
We won't stop the war
Somehow I might go insane
Somehow I might lose my brain
Somehow I might not even care
And somehow I never ever will accept
The way that things are going
We can run and we can walk
We can sit and we can talk
But we won't stop the war, oh no
We won't stop the war, oh no, no
