Everything we do on a personal scale
|
Taking 'we' to mean everyone who ever existed
|
Is the basis for everything wrong in this world
|
And of course everything are right as well
|
But the list of wrongs that offend the soul
|
Like the chance of being killed before we get old
|
Is far far longer than the list of right, yeah
|
|
Falling in love won't stop the war
|
Falling in love won't stop the war
|
Falling in love won't stop the war
|
But hating other people might start some more
|
|
You blame the politicians
|
For making all the wrong decisions
|
Which are just the same as ours
|
But we haven't got that power
|
That enforced domination
|
So we take out our frustration
|
On the weaker opposition
|
Reinforce our egotism
|
In our small scale wars
|
On the disco floors
|
Against the man next door
|
|
Falling in love won't stop the war
|
Falling in love won't stop the war
|
Falling in love won't stop the war
|
But hating other people might start some more
|
|
You can blame the politicians - Small scale wars
|
You blame the television - Small scale wars
|
You can blame your education - Small scale wars
|
Cost of living and inflation - Small scale wars
|
|
But the basis for everything wrong in this world
|
Is the way that people behave
|
When you scorn the system but fight each other
|
You're behaving exactly the same
|
If you thought a bit more before starting the war
|
Then maybe the structure would change
|
Change! Sooner or later
|
|
Falling in love won't stop the war
|
Falling in love won't stop the war
|
Falling in love won't stop the war
|
But hating other people might start some more
|
Falling in love won't stop the war
|
Falling in love won't stop their war
|
But hating other people might start some more
