I`ve Known No War — текст песни (The Who)





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
