Edwin Starr - Stop The War Now Lyrics

Send "Stop The War Now" ringtone to your cell

All right, yeah

Make the sound of peace

And sing now

(Stop the war) ow (now)

Everybody

Don't put it off another day

Make your voices roar

(Stop the war) ow (now)

Just like thunder, y'all

(Don't put it off) hey, another day

Sing a song now

(Stop the war) ow (now)

Listen to me, y'all

(Don't put it off) ow, another day

Listen to me

A knock on the door

There's a letter from the war

Sayin', greetings, we want you

If I refuse to fight

They say that that ain't right

And time you'll have to do

Somebody please tell me

What is war all about

And why must I kill against my will

I just can't figure it out

Oh, stop the war now

Good God, hear me saying

Don't put it off another day

Everybody saying

Stop the war now

Now, now, now

Don't put it off another day

All we got to do is listen

(Give peace a chance)

Don't throw another life away

Listen to me now

This is bout all the soldiers

That are dead and gone today

If you asked them to fight again

Huh, what do you think they'd say

I'm not trying to be funny

I'm just trying to get my point across

War is world's enemy number one

And it's time that we called it off

Ow, stop the war, now

Good God, hear me saying

Don't put it off another day

Everybody singing

(Stop the war) ow

Now, now, now, now

Don't put it off another day

All we got to do is, Lord

Give peace a chance

And don't, don't throw

Another life away, oh

War casualties pile up each day

Cemeteries are overflowing

The leaders of the world claim victory's near

But the death list keeps right on growing

And what does a mother get in return

For the life of the son she's lost

A few measly pennies a month

A medal, a grave and a doggone cross

I said, stop the war now

Good God, hear me saying

Don't put it off another day

Everybody sing

Stop the war, now

Now, now, now

Don't put it off another day

Why can't we just

(Give peace a chance)

Please don't throw another life away

Can't you see

Enough blood's been she'd

By the wounded and the dead

Enough blood's been she'd

By the wounded and the dead, ohh

Enough blood's been she'd

By the wounded and the dead, ohh

(Stop the war) listen (now)

Good God, everybody

(Don't put it off) ow

Not another day now

(Stop the war) ow

Now, now, now, now

(Don't put it off) ow, another day

This is a message to the

Leaders of the world

(Give peace a chance)

Oh, let's make

Tomorrow a brighter day

Stand up
