Soldiers on the Moon Lyrics by David Lasley

Soldiers on the Moon

0

Stop (stop)
We must stop (We must stop)
Before there's soldiers on the moon
I know it
Stop (stop)
We must stop (We must stop)
If there's any love left
Now's the time to show
I see it comin'
Peace birds die hummin'
The song of forty-four
Peace was left on island shores
The push (the push)
The sell (the sell)
Boys become men when the uniform's on
Mess hall children up at dawn
Scream and yell (scream and yell)
In six short weeks, they learn so well
Load 'em up and aim and kill
There's a place where politicians wait
Too near the heart and heaven's gate
Ooh, I see it comin'
Peace birds die hummin'
The song of forty-four
My daddy didn't start no Second World War
(Second World War)
And if my daddy's watchin', I'm sure he sees
That you never win through victory
Guns and bombs and dead men gone
Don't change the mind of a Washington dog
If the stars don't shine so bright
It's because they're out of light
And now is surely not too soon
We must stop (stop)
Before there's soldiers on, on the moon
Oh, stop (stop)
We must stop (we must stop)
Before there's soldiers on the moon
I know it
Stop (stop)
We must stop (we must stop)
If there's any love left
Now's the time to show it
Uncle John died flyin' over Germany
Just like in the movies mama'd see on TV
My daddy died, crazy from the things he saw
His frontline terror, now it's in my blood
I see it comin'
Peace birds die hummin'
The song of forty-four
Daddy didn't start no Second World War
If my daddy's watchin', I'm sure he sees
You never win through victory
And guns and bombs and dead men gone
Don't change the mind of a Washington dog
If the stars don't shine so bright
It's because they're out of light
Now is surely not too soon
We must stop (stop)
Before there's soldiers on the moon
(On the moon)
And if my daddy's watchin', I'm sure he sees
You never win through victory
Guns and bombs and dead men gone
Don't change the mind of a Washington dog
If my daddy's watchin', I'm sure he sees
You never win through victory
(If I'm sure he's watchin' me)
Dead men gone
(Dead men gone)
They don't change the mind
Of a Washington dog
If my daddy's watchin', I'm sure he sees
(Oh, a Washington dog)
You never win through victory
(You never win through victory)
Dead men gone
(Dead men gone)
Don't change the mind of a Washington dog
If my daddy's watchin', I'm sure he sees
(Don't you think it's time?)
You never win through victory
(Don't you think it's time? Yeah)
Dead men gone
(Too many dead men gone)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
If my daddy's watchin', I'm sure he sees
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You never win through victory
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Don't you think it's time?)
