Johnny woke up in the morning and his face was red
There's a dog in the yard
And the cat, it's dead
Tell me, what good is a war going to do him?
The bullets rip through him
And all my life I wonder what a mess we've gotten ourselves into
And I struggle
And I strive
To get these knots out of my life
And they...
They built a plane and it's as fast as hell
It was swell
And it could kill a million dead
In the desert there's a baby crying
Mother's gone and his face is red
Now tell me, what good is war gonna do him?
As the mutts starts to chew him up
He's nothing but a corpse in the sand
Now johnny woke up in the morning
Now his hands are red
Daddy's in the yard cause now mommy is dead
Tell me, what good is a war gonna do him?
As the television rips right through him
And all my life I wonder what a mess we've gotten ourselves into
And we struggle
And we strive
To get these knots out our my lives
And all my life I have
Been waiting so long for you to be there with me
Because I know one day we can be as one
