Lyrics

America, no mother, child at your breast
Your apple pie is just obviously best
But you have moved away out west
You know I cannot finish this — you know the rest
War sucks!
Well, listen to me, my friend General Fox
I have something to say today, you know
I don't have much to tell you, my friend, but
You might not like what I say —
You know war sucks!
Lyndon, our good general, he does weep
When he sends his troops out into battle
I'm sick to death of your endless prattle
'Cause you remember what happened to Hansel and Gretel
War sucks!
America, America, God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
Sea to shining sea — you know war sucks
You know war sucks!
Well, Mister God, are you sad this week
That we treat each other bad?
You know your silence is part of a fad
You know that you do nothing — just makes me mad
War sucks!
War sucks!
