Lyrics[edit | edit source]
Moments of pleasure in a world of pain
Working together, only to fight again
If we wait for the world leaders to decide
Who will die first?
So, don't wait no more
Time we make rock, not war! What are we dying for?
(Rock, not war!) Nobody wins!
(Rock, not war!) What are we trying for?
And the fools rush in, don't they?
For the grand beginning of the end
Pulses are racing, you know the blade may fall
Destinies tracing, I sing to a great star-fall
And you know there's a real answer
But they won't let it be told
We've heard the lies before
Time we make rock, not war! What are we dying for?
(Rock, not war!) Nobody wins!
(Rock, not war!) What are we trying for?
And the fools rush in, don't they?
For the grand beginning of the end
The hourglass turns over, and time is running low
Will the sandman's pollen bring sleep before we know?
Yeah, you know there's a real answer
And we gotta let it be told
So, don't wait no more
Time we make rock not war! What are we dying for?
(Rock, not war!) Nobody wins
(Rock, not war!) What are we trying for?
And the fools rush in, don't we?
For the grand beginning of the end
(Make rock, not war!)
(Make rock, not war!)
(Make rock, not war!)
(Make rock, not war!)
(Make rock, not war!)
