Soldiers on the Moon lyrics

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?)
