War Baby - Mick Jagger

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
