War. What Is It Good For? Songtext
von Hell & Back

And that′s the same old story
You told long ago
About how not to make
The same mistakes
And what you've learned
In all those years
You said you′ve been through hell
And still can hear the bullet sound
And the tanks rolling straight
Bombing hallways
And everything around
"Grandson, I wish I could spare you
The suffering that I have been through
Glad to be alive and sitting here
Where would I have been without luck?"
In these times when fear ruled the world


It must have been hard to get along
And I know you would not
Have been proud
Of how the world has turned
With all this fear returning
Not a lesson learned from history
"Grandson, I wish I could spare you
The suffering that I have been through
Glad to be alive and sitting here
Where would I have been without luck?"
Now this is two thousand and seventeen
Not nineteen hundred and thirty three
But it seems like nothing has changed
Now the wheel is turning on and on
Fear is engrossing this world again
You would not have been proud
