I was born in a war

So they call me a war baby

I was born in a war

And it don't make me war crazy

And the guns start to roar

As the fire sweeps the street

Crazy



Why can't we walk the road together

And keep our children safe and sure



War - War Baby



And the war made us poor

Made our future unsure

Hazy



Why don't we run this race together

And keep our children safe and sure



But the arms race is on

And the tanks all roll out

All the guns are in place

We just wait for the shout

To arms, to arms



And the guns start to roar From the ship to the shore

And the bombs start to fall

As we crouch in the hall

as they bust through the breach

Out on Omaha Beach



Why don't we run this road together

Why can't we hope to find a cure



But the arms race is on

And the tanks all roll out

All the guns are in place

As we wait for the shout

And the army sweeps on and on

And the navy sails out

As we rush to the edge

As we wait for the shout

To arms, to arms



War - War Baby
