Sense Of War

Everybody´s talking `bout peace
And noone says that he doesn´t want
They all say two world wars suffice
`Cause they´ve damaged much too much

But mankind has nothing learned
Since there were a hundred wars
They still invent more arms
Crueler than ever before

And the politicians speak of peace
But they say that we have to arm:
"That´s the way to prevent war!?"
But without arms there would be no war

So what´s the sense, why shall we arm
If we don´t want any war
Why shall we spend a lot of money
For something we don´t need

What is the sense of war?
Why can´t people live in peace?
What is the sense of war?
What´s the sense, what´s the sense of war?

Many people die of hunger
But we waste our money on arms
Are those arms even more worth
Than the human life

If a third world war´d begin
All men would be equal: dead
Mankind would not live to see
The earth in agony

What is the sense of war?
Why can´t people live in peace?
What is the sense of war?
What´s the sense, what´s the sense of war?
