Learn & Grow

Chorus:
Somebody tell me please
Why this nonsense repeats
When everybody agrees
That the main thing is peace

Gone singing in the first mess
Gazed and shelled in trenches
Still sonny was so anxious
To try his own gas chambers

Seems each generation
Has its own malediction
World wars are over
But the world is still at war

Chorus:
I pray and I pray
For humanity to grow up
I hope and I pray
For the madness to stop

For a few to feel nice
Other pay the price
Of being in the crowd
Round after round

Throwing your last penny
In booze and bad taste
When those few already
Stole the rest made you a waste

Chorus:
I’m angry so angry
Towards man, mankind only
For a few to feel fine
Others sink in their wine

Chorus & Final:
Somebody tell me please
Why this nonsense repeats
When everybody agrees
That the main thing is peace

Like green leaves and dead trees
You go from laughter to tears
But the springtime you once had
Should live in your heart

When we little dummies
Will learn from our daddies
Humanity will grow up
And the madness shall stop
