Homeslice! Can't you learn from history?

Ain't no reason big enough to resort to World War III

They put a helmet on your head and a rifle in your hands

And send you off to kill your brother in his native land

And I say...

Lay Your Weapons Down!

I can't go on this way

Oh no! It's really up to us now, brothers

You can make it happen

Got to put an end to war today!

Come on! Can't you see that it's insane?

To murder for your country or to play their deadly game

We've got to try to comprehend

The man inside your gunsight could have been your finest friend

And I say...

Lay Your Weapons Down!

I can't go on this way

Oh no! It's really up to us now, brothers

You can make it happen

Got to put an end to war today!

So you say you love your country

And that you'll fight to keep it free

How can you love a freedom

That stands for death and inhumanity!

Lay Your Weapons Down!

I can't go on this way

Oh no! It's really up to us now, brothers

You can make it happen

Got to put an end to war today!
