love and war

Neil Young - Love And War



When I sing about love and war
I dont really know what Im saying
Ive been in love and Ive seen a lot of war
Seen a lot of people praying

They pray to Allah and they prey to the lord
But mostly they pray about love and war

Pray about love and war
Pray about love and war
Ive seen a lot of young men go to war
And leave a lot of young brides waiting
Ive watched them try to explain it to their kids
And seen a lot of them failing
They tried to tell them and they tried to explain
Why daddy wont ever come home again.

Daddy wont ever come home again
Daddy wont ever come home again
I said a lot of things that I cant take back
But I dont really know if I want to
I sang songs about war
Since the backstreets of Toronto
I sang for justice and I hit a bad chord
But I still try to sing about love and war

The saddest thing in the whole wide world
Is to break the heart of your lover
I made a mistake and I did it again
And we struggled to recover
Then I sang in anger, hit another bad chord
But I still try to sing about love and war

Ive been in love and Ive seen a lot of war
