Nobody Wins A War - Raheem DeVaughn/Jill Scott.mp3

[00:00.00]No one will win the war, see families only die
[00:10.59]And birds won't soar the sky and there'll be no sun to shine
[00:20.79]No country wins a war, the grass won't grow the same
[00:30.99]The moon won't shine at night and there's a losing fight
[00:41.29]Nobody wins a war
[00:42.99]Now what would you do, what would you say
[00:46.49]If you heard a bomb was headed your way?
[00:48.39]Where would you go, what would you bring
[00:51.59]If you heard a bomb was headed your way?
[00:53.39]Now what would you do, what would you say
[00:56.49]If you heard a rocket was headed your way?
[00:58.39]Where would you go, what would you bring?
[01:00.69]No soldier wins a war, see soldiers only die
[01:10.89]And mamas only cry just for a conscious flag to fly
[01:21.09]That's why nobody wins a war, no war is worth your life
[01:31.29]See that's a priceless pride, no war is worth your blood
[01:41.09]Nobody wins a war
[01:42.79]Now what would you do, what would you say
[01:46.09]If you heard a bomb was headed your way?
[01:48.09]Where would you go, what would you bring
[01:51.29]If you heard a bomb was headed your way?
[01:53.19]Now what would you do, what would you say
[01:56.29]If you heard a rocket was headed your way?
[01:58.29]Where would you go, what would you bring
[02:00.69]Tell me who would you pray to?
[02:02.49]Now what would you do, what would you say
[02:05.89]If you heard a bomb was headed your way?
[02:07.79]Where would you go, what would you bring
[02:11.09]If you heard a bomb was headed your way?
[02:12.89]Now what would you do, what would you say
[02:16.09]If you heard a rocket was headed your way?
[02:17.99]Where would you go, what would you bring?
[02:20.19]No one wins a war
[02:22.09]No one wins a war, no one wins
[02:24.79]No one wins a war
[02:26.79]No one wins a war, no one wins
[02:29.59]No one wins a war
[02:31.59]No one wins a war, no one wins
[02:34.39]No one wins a war
[02:36.39]No one wins a war, no one wins
[02:39.19]No one wins a war
[02:41.19]Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war
[02:43.79]Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war
[02:46.49]Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war
[02:49.19]Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war
[02:51.89]Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war
[02:54.69]Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war
[02:57.39]Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war
[03:00.09]Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war
[03:02.79]Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war
[03:05.49]Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war
[03:08.19]Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war
[03:10.89]Nobody wins a war
[03:12.09]We, the people speak, speak
[03:15.99]We want to be free of this sick bureaucracy
[03:20.49]No more death tolls with our morning coffee
[03:24.49]Oh, government, you have lost your feeling for life
[03:29.59]It is war that you reap
[03:33.49]But the loss is too great and the pain is too deep
[03:38.29]The scars do not heal
[03:41.39]Your system is thoughtless and your vision is weak
[03:46.49]Your actions are hurtful
[03:49.59]You never find what you seek
[03:52.79]You make the sky a storm
[03:56.59]You destroy the earth, make possibilities bleak
[04:01.39]Your lies are your destruction, your justice stinks
[04:06.39]Your pride is maniacal, you are the bearer of grief
[04:11.49]Your win is shallow, your truth is oblique
[04:16.49]Your patriotism is garbage, it rots and it reeks
[04:22.09]Of death in the wind, the foul stench of men
[04:26.59]Basking in their cruelty, rejoicing in their sin
[04:31.69]You give up and give over so easily to the darker side
[04:37.39]Because of your pride, you risk all of humanity
[04:42.59]You send my children to murder human beings
[04:47.89]Families they do not yet know, people they have never seen
[04:53.09]You send my children to war
[04:56.79]Without exasperating dialogue to get to the meat
[05:02.59]An equal understanding, as if there isn't even a possibility for peace
[05:08.59]But there is always a possibility for peace
[05:13.29]As un-perfect as we are, we should in all ways reach
[05:19.49]Deep, deep down in our beings
[05:24.19]Oh, this wicked, wicked system of things
[05:28.99]As our grandmothers say
[05:32.49]Will soon be no more, will soon be no more
[05:37.49]Because nobody, no one ever wins a war
