Wheels on the war-machine Shall always keep on turning Warmongers making money Will always keep on earning As one battle comes to an end Another one’s just begun The apocalypse it still remains Goes on and on and on When the lighting finally ceases hey! Tell me who has really won
Man’s created this monster Causing mass destruction worldwide Taking millions of innocent lives each year No safe place for them to hide Lust for war has been in our blood Since evolution this can he found Our race evolves, learns, builds, creates Conflicts smash it to the ground Power greed that’s on our minds We’ve closed our eyes, we are so blind
[Chorus:] When will we learn? See all the wrong things that we do When will we learn? Then it’s too late for me and for you That’s when we’ll learn Reaching our fatal final truth Fatal final truth
When will we learn? See all the wrong things that we do When will we learn? Then it’s too late for me and for you
Look back in time across the years Nothing gained from the fighting and the tears What’s been achieved, what does war bring Refugees, pain, terror, suffering When will we learn?... Never!
[Chorus]
Have we really listened to the moral of this song? Continuing along these lines man won’t exist for long Technology was for the future, supposed to be our friend The only thing progress has brought is closer to the end We will never ever learn, we’ll self-destruct Our fuse it burns
