So now we talk about destruction   'Bout the way that we might go   I've seen the headlines in the papers   The truth is more than we should know      Somebody wake me from this nightmare   Is this a TV horror show?   We can run and we can walk   We can sit and we can talk      But we won't stop the war, oh no      Silent whispers in the ice-machine today   Calling for my brain in silent ways   No more changes in this world in which we live in   And I don't know who the guy is   Who's talking with the friendly grin      I never heard of any bargain   I didn't know what's goin' on   We can shout and we pray   It doesn't matter anyway      We won't stop the war      Somehow I might go insane   Somehow I might lose my brain   Somehow I might not even care   And somehow I never ever will accept   The way that things are going      We can run and we can walk   We can sit and we can talk      But we won't stop the war, oh no   We won't stop the war, oh no, no
