WAR! - REDUX

WAR! - REDUX

'War! what is it good for? absolutely fuck all!'

War! what is it good for? absolutely fuck all!'

 

How did we get here? so much hate.

 

He was eighteen last week

now his mother sobs quietly at his grave.

He was eighteen last week

 and his father stands

hands clenched,

 heart broke.

 

He was eighteen last week, his grandfather

gazes around him and a man whose heart is so full of love

cannot make this right

 

People we don't know clutch their dead children to their breast, in one of the oldest country's in the world

and hate us so much.

 

He was eighteen last week.

How can your profits ever be worth this price?

WAR!!!???

THIS was the full tag -in 1985 i think. i saw bruce springsteen perform this song in leeds newcastle and london on his born in the usa tour. i was really young . he introduced 'war'  with the statement ' next time there going to be looking at you' I remeber thinking come on Bruce, steady on, war is a thing of the past. How i wrong i was.
