Текст пісні
Woah-oh, the sound, the sounds of war
It ain't pretty
I hear the sound of war echoing over yonder
It make I-man stop an' wonder
I heard the sound of a bomb that sound like thunder
The flashing light that looks like lightning
The rolling of the tanks across the plains
An' the children so confused
An' the elders not amused
It's Babylon unleashing all its might
Destroying everything in sight
I can feel the agony of the people
Cowerin' with fear, destruction everywhere
When two governments disagree, the people die
No one listen to their cry
Whenever there's war, the children perish
Losing everything they ever cherish
We send our sons and daughters to die
On the battlefield
All in the name of freedom
All in the name of democracy
Those that make it back is shown no mercy
Living in the streets like rats
Nowhere to rest their backs
I hear the sound of war echoing over yonder
Said, I hear the sound of war echoing over yonder
I can feel the agony of the people
Cowerin' with fear, destruction everywhere
Woah, the sound of war, it ain't pretty
I said, the sound of war, it ain't pretty (It ain't pretty)
It ain't pretty
Whenever there is war, the children perish
Losing everything they ever cherish
We send our sons and daughters to die
On the battlefield
All in the name of freedom
All in the name of democracy
And those that make it back is shown no mercy
Living in the streets like rats
Nowhere to lay their backs
