lyrics

I wanna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside
Will it help me to save my home?
Should I pack up my house and gear, and find a place to hide?
Should I flee the fight alone?
Do I pick out some favoured team?
How would I choose a side,
With open arms or a fine-toothed comb?

I don't wanna study war no more.
Don't wanna study, plan, observe,
Don't wanna hatch a plot to kill or die.

I wanna lay down my heavy load
Down by the riverside
I wanna see a world I know.
Should I pack up my things and leave, or find a place to hide?
This world is not my own.
Should I pick out some favoured team,
Do I select my tribe
With open arms or a fine-toothed comb?

I don't wanna study war no more.
Don't wanna study, plan, observe,
Don't wanna hatch a plot to kill or die.

Oh, feel like my future has been robbed
Oh, been feeling frightened and despondent every day
Oh yeah

Oh, can we still unify in time,
Or is this a parting of the minds to swear in violent demise?

Don't wanna study, plan, observe
Don't wanna hatch a plot to...

Oh, please tell us how to reconcile
The way we knew the parent of this revolution and this crime?

War no more

I wanna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside
I wanna lay down my sword and shield
By the riverside
