Ain't Gonna Party No More

I heard about a man

Who said

That he found a plan

To end

All the wars of man

But nobody cared



He asked them

To drop their guns

To come home

And love someone

Watch corn

In the morning sun

Plan children

To bear



Since

I was just

A little boy

I've been hearing

Tales of war

How if

We don't make men

Destroy every land

Outside our shore

How will they know

We mean to fight?

For what is worth

Fighting for



I'll never hold a gun

For them against

My brothers

Cross the sea

There's so much work

To do at home

When the mind and soul

Are free

When will they send

My brothers home

So they can be free

With me



You better end

The war

As quick as you can

There's hunger

In America

We need every man

We've got ignorance, 

Pollution

And so much more

If there's one thing

We don't need

It's your damn war



We ain't gonna party

No more

You went to war

And you didn't even

Tell us

We ain't gonna party

No more



We ain't gonna party

No more, 

You can't hold up

The flag

And try to lie

Behind it

We ain't gonna party

No more



Oh spacious skies

For waves of grain

Once I pledge

Myself to you

I pledge

To textbooks

Dates and names

And the dreams

I thought came true

How can my daughter

Do the same?

For your red

White and blue



We ain't gonna party

No more

We ain't gonna party

No more

We ain't gonna party

No more

We ain't gonna party

No more
