Our brother Tommy has gone to war seems to know what he is fighting for
Our little Tommy has gone off to war does he know what he is fighting for.
Not a lot that this song can do to change the minds of the powerful few
we hear each day what they will do for you more cops and soldiers protecting you
What are the chances we can live in peace between a missile shield
or a riot shield order new helmets uniforms for every land
till every child has a gun in his hand they don’t understand.
Our brother Tommy has gone to war doesn’t know what he is fighting for
Our little Tommy has gone off to war knows no more what he is fighting for
You would have thought that man had learnt by now that killing others it aint right somehow
You know for certain my god’s stronger than yours
what´s the difference when we are both dead on the floor
They spin the truth north south east and west
who cares which race or army thinks it’s the best
most of us just want to live our lives without our psyche with violence put in the test
Nevertheless
In all the schools they kill with computer games at night on television more murder games
a new killing machine is out in Hollywood the silver screen now splattered with blood
Our brother Tommy’s coming back from war didn’t know what he was fighting for
Our little Tommy’s come back from war inside a box delivered right to our door
