SING IT to the tune of It Ain't Gonna Rain No More

We ain’t gonna war no more, no more,
We ain’t gonna war no more!
No more false alarms,
And we’re make no more arms.
We ain’t gonna war no more!

We WON’T fight preemptive wars no more,
We WON’T fight preemptive wars!
We WON’T bypass the U.N.
And bring the world to ruin,
We won’t fight preemptive wars!

We won’t bomb women and kids no more,
We won’t bomb women and kids!
We’ll learn dipomacy–
Not threaten milit’ry.
We won’t bomb women and kids!

We won’t go to war for oil no more,
We won’t go to war for oil!
We’ll stifle our desire
For power and empire.
We won’t go to war for oil!

We ain’t gonna war no more, no more,
We ain’t gonna war no more!
The world cannot condone
U.S. going it alone.
Smart bomb morality
Lacks all humanity.
We ain’t gonna war no more!

Dole the oil fields out–
Unwilling left to pout.
Thugs can rage and loot–
We just don’t give a hoot.
We ain’t gonna war no more!
