Lyrics
Fire
Many songs have been sung, whoa
Many songs won't be heard, no
Sung over days, weeks and years
Yes in time it'll all just disappear
Fire all your guns at the sky to your god
Fire all your guns, wave your flag
'Til it's done
It's over
Many songs I have sung, whoa
They don't mean anything, no
Many songs of love and hate
How long must we just wait for our fate?
I don't know what side is right, no
But I know both are wrong, whoa
It's been a long, long time
That we've killed ourselves while saying "It's mine all mine"
War is over
