Lyrics

Private Wars

So many boys went off to war to fight for their country
They were told to be men to fight till the end for America the land of the free
But why all this fighting and money making wars when we could be learning a better education
But all of our money goes to this mindless machine and the children they do suffer
Oh yes they do

Private Wars don't make it anymore
Private Wars don't make it anymore

Why does our money go to this empty machine?
Seems we're hastening the making of a dying breed
We're squeezing the earth till it's dry and diseased and the children do suffer yes they do.

Private Wars don't make it anymore
Private Wars don't make it anymore

The stakes are a changing the voices are rising from a whisper to a mighty rumble
Like the wheels of a train approaching
You can get on it if you want to get into the motion

Private Wars don't make it anymore
Private Wars don't make it anymore
