Too Young to Die

Everybody

Don't want no war,

'Cos we're too young to die,

So many people,

All around the world,

Seen their brothers fry.

What's the motive?

In your madness.

You've made my people cry.

So politicians this time

Keep your distance.

'Cos we're too young to die.

You know we're too young to die,

You know we're too young to die,

You know we're too young to die,

You know we're too young to die,

What's the answer?

To our problems.

I think we've gone too high,

Little children,

Never said a word now,

But still they have to die.

It won't be long.

Dancing like we do now,

To put this sad world right.

So don't you worry,

Suffer no more,

'Cos we're too young to die.

You know we're too young to die,

You know we're too young to die,

You know we're too young to die,

You know we're too young to die,

All gone when they drop the bomb.

Can the politicians reassure?

'Cos here I am presuming that

Nobody wants a war

There's so many people praying

Just to find out if they're staying.

But lately stately governments

And disillusioned leaders,

So full of empty promises

But rarely do they feed us.

Put our backs against the wall,

Or don't we count at all?

Can you decide,

Are you mesmerised.

Do you know which side you're standing?

Cos when it falls gonna take us all.

Gotta know what we're demanding,

I never lie,

Can't your hear the cry,

Coming from on high,

WE'RE TOO YOUNG TO DIE.
