The problem with war lies not with the loser
The problem with war is one side feels justified
The guns, the lies, tell me what was the prize
People open up your eyes, that man is your brother

We be lookin' at it from both sides now
Sometimes I wish that war could be replaced with a game of soccer
The problem with war is that it keeps money moving
Judge me, GDP, the military complex looks good on TV
People open up your eyes, that girl is your sister

We like to go to war when the enemy is faceless
We like to go to war when the enemy is faithless
And lest we forget we haven't reached civilization quite yet
People open up your eyes, it's time for the reunion

We be lookin' at it from both sides now
Peace, love and unity
