THE WHO lyrics : "I've Known No War"

I've known no war
And if I ever do I won't know for sure
Who'll be fighting whom

For the soldiers lonely tomb
Now opens as soon as the referee's gun starts to roar
I'll know no war


Galbraith took his pen
To break down the men

Of the German army defeated
On the nineteenth day
Of a spring day in May

Albert Speer was deleted
And as soon as the battle was over
I was born in victorious clover

And I've never been shot at or gassed
Never tortured or stabbed
And I'm sure - I'll never know war


I know I'll never know war
And if I ever do

The glimpse will be short
Fireball in the sky
No front line battle cries

Can be heard and the button is pushed
By a soul that's been bought
I'll know no war


In and out of reach loft
The medals are lost

They belong to a lone broken sailor
His provinces now
Are the bars of the town

His songs and his poems of failure
For his grandchildren can't see the glory
And his own kids are bored with the story

But for him they'd have burned behind netting
>From the brink they were grabbed
And I'm sure

I'll never know war

I've known no war

And if I ever do I won't know for sure
Who'll be fighting whom
For the soldiers lonely tomb

Now opens as soon as the referee's gun starts to roar
I'll know no war


War - I've known no war
I'll never know war
And if I ever know it

The glimpse will be short
Fireball in the sky
No front line battle cries

Can be heard as the button is pushed by a soul that's been
bought
And the armies remaining will judge without people or courts

And there's no point pretending that knowing will help us
abort
I'll know no war
