Rick Wakeman - War Games lyrics

We've stripped war down to essentials, we don't waste no time or flesh
Beautiful is our destruction, clean and fresh
You don't have to follow leaders, you don't have to choose a side
No opinions volunteered by the millions who died

Don't feel you're a pawn or private, you can be the rank you choose
No that it makes any difference, you lose
Someone up there doesn't like me, doesn't want this girl alive
I've done what is most forbidden, survive

I don't know who moves the counters, deals the cards or makes the rules
Gives the orders, pulls the levers, playing wars
I'm a peaceful soul, I swear it, I don't wish no human ill
But let me at those warring players, I'd kill

Someone up there doesn't like me, doesn't want this girl alive
I've done what is most forbidden, survive
I don't know who moves the counters, deals the cards or makes the rules
Gives the orders, pulls the levers, playing wars

They got me wanting to kill, I want to hate
Wanting to kill, corruption, it's great, wanting to
Got me wanting to kill, I want to hurt

Someone up there doesn't like me, doesn't want this girl alive
I've done what is, survive
