There might've been a time in history
When starting a war made more people free
I see the logic, it made sense to me
To take out Hitler or Mussolini

But times have changed, the world has changed
War has changed, weapons have changed
That shit doesn't make sense any more
Raise up your hands and say fuck war!

Fuck war, fuck war
Fuck war, fuck war
Fuck war, fuck war
Fuck war, fuck war

killed the Japanese, didn't make us safe
killed the Koreans, didn't make us safe
killed the Vietnamese, didn't make us safe
killed the Lebanese, didn't make us safe
killed the Iraqis, didn't make us safe
killed the Serbs, didn't make us safe
killed the Afghanis, didn't make us safe
killed more Iraqis, didn't make us safe

If it ain't making us safer, what are we doing it for
Raise up your hands and say fuck war!

Fuck war, fuck war
Fuck war, fuck war
Fuck war, fuck war
Fuck war, fuck war

Unmanned drones don't make us safer
Waterboarding, torture don't make us safer
Indefinite detention doesn't make us safer
Extraordinary rendition doesn't make us safer
Gitmo, Abu Garaib don't make us safer
Nuclear weapons don't make us safer
Collateral damage doesn't make us safer
The Patriot Act doesn't make us safer

If it ain't making us safer, what are we doing it for
Raise up your hands and say fuck war!

Fuck war, fuck war
Fuck war, fuck war
Fuck war, fuck war
Fuck war, fuck war

The Professor's still taking you to class
You can stick those freedom fries up your ass
Killing people creates more terror not less
We're talking human lives, not playing fucking chess
It's wrong when Hitler does it, it's wrong when we do it
It's wrong when Stalin does it, it's wrong when we do it
It's wrong when Hussein does it, it's wrong when we do it
It's wrong when Osama does it, it's wrong when we do it

If it aint' right, what are we doing it for
Raise up your hands and say fuck war!

Fuck war, fuck war
Fuck war, fuck war
Fuck war, fuck war
Fuck war, fuck war
