Songtexte War Is Not Healthy - Procol Harum

War is not healthy for adults and children
It scars and it maims, it blames and it kills them
War is not healthy, but no one should claim
That pain that's inflicted could be worth the gain

It's money in the pockets of the armament makers
It's fame and it's glory for generals and dictators
It's fear and it's shame and real human suffering
For the ones you love most are the ones who have nothing
It's democracy (democracy)
It's lunacy (it's lunacy)
It's history (it's history)
It's victory

'Cause war is not healthy for adults and children
War is not healthy for adults and children

It's armchair warriors sucking their gums
It's merchants of horror polishing guns
It's praising the troops and waving the flag
It's widows and orphans carrying the bag
It's democracy (it's democracy)
It's lunacy (lunacy)
It's history (it's history)
It's victory

Oh, war is not healthy for adults and children
I said war is not healthy for adults and children

Hey, yeah, go!

Keep your head down

Democracy
It's lunacy
Listen to me

It's not healthy at all
It scars and it maims
Oh, yeah
War is not healthy
Whoa, whoa

Listen up

War is not healthy for adults and children
It scars and it maims, it blames and it kills them
War is not healthy, but no one should claim
That pain that's inflicted could be worth the gain

(War is not healthy) hell no, war is not healthy
(War is not healthy) whoa, we're sayin', "Listen here"
(War is not healthy) for adults and children
(War is not healthy)
Yeah
No, no, no, no
No
