Moments of pleasure, in a world of pain.
Working together, only to fight again.
If we wait for the world leaders to decide, who will die first?
So don’t wait no more!
Tell me, make rock not war! What are we dying for?
Rock not war! Nobody wins!
Rock not war! What are we trying for?
And the fools rush in, don’t they,
For the grand beginning of the end!
Pulses are racing. You know the blade may fall.
Destinies tracing. I sing to a great star-fall.
And you know there’s a real answer, but they’ve already been told.
We’ve heard our lies being cold!
Tell me, make rock not war! What are we dying for?
Rock not war! Nobody wins!
Rock not war! What are we trying for?
And the fools rush in, don’t they,
For the grand beginning of the end!
The hourglass turns over, and time is running low.
Will the sandman’s pollen bring sleep before we know?
Yeah, you know there’s a real answer, and we’ve died more than been told.
So don’t wait no more!
Tell me, make rock not war! What are we dying for?
Rock not war! Nobody wins!
Rock not war! What are we trying for?
And the fools rush in, don’t we,
For the grand beginning of the end!
Make rock not war!
Make rock not war!
Make rock not war!
Make rock not war!
Make rock not war!
i think the reason at least i know i like this stuff better than the 70s material is specifically because i was born in the late 80s, and grew up listening to 80s hair metal bands and van halen and such, along with the thrash metal and grunge from the start of my life. but this material carries a certain power about it that screams the 80s and i guess that would be the reason i think the 80s BOC is kickass.
