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 streets (crazy) Why can't we walk this 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, (crazy) And the bombs start to fall As we crouch in the hall As they bust through the breach Out on Omaha Beach, yeah Why can'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
