Here we go
W W Wise up
W W Wise up
All you people with the power of authority
controllers of the children's destiny
I know you've got a lot of work to do
and you can't bite off more than you can chew
But this is all I really want to say to you
Wise up and stop the star war games
In this here nuclear world
there's been a lot of mistakes (too many)
The Chernobyl disaster
it was the worst up to date
There's radiation in the skies
it showers acid rain
To make it worst our leaders
are playing star wars games
They're playing star war games
They're playing star war games
They're playing star war games
They're playing star wars
W W Wise up
W W Wise up
Word
People arise and get live
cause this ain't no time to fantasize
listen with your ears look with your eyes
and give me five when you realize we got
nuclear technology powered by atomic energy
programmed by computerized efficiency
This philosophy ain't nothing but insanity
sending satellites to probe outer space
when we need that money for the human race
we need a cure for aids and cancer
and every disease that we ain't got a cure for
So give the money to the nurse and the doctor
and feed the people that are dying of hunger
do it now there's no time to wait
don't hesitate 'cause planet earth
is like a volcano about to erupt
and the only way to get it to stop
Is if the people of the world wise up
And stop the star war games
Star war games
Star war games
Star war games
They're playing star war games
They're playing star war games
They're playing star war games
They're playing star wars
Oh it's a crying shame
they're playing all these star war games
In this insanity no love for humanity
Star wars
Star wars
They're playing star war games
They're playing star war games
People arise
