  • Everybody
    Don't want no war no
    No, no, no
    We're all too young to die
    Too young to die

    So many people
    All around the world, yeah
    All around the world
    Seen their brothers fry
    (I seen your brother fry)
    What's the motive?
    In that madness
    Oh, I wish I knew, you made my people cry
    (You made my people cry)
    So politicians
    This time
    I think you'd better keep your distance
    Say, sing it loud
    We're too young to

    Do-do-do-do-do
    Da-da-do, da-da-do-do
    Do-do-do-do, da-da-do
    Da-da-do
    Do-do-do-do-do
    Da-da-do, da-da-do-do
    Do-do-do-do
    Da-da-do, da-da-do

    Yo, it's the message?
    All gone when we drop the bomb
    Can the politicians reassure?
    'Cause here I am Presuming that
    Nobody wants a war
    There's so many people praying
    Just to find out if they're staying
    But lately stately governments
    And disillusioned leaders
    Are full of empty promises
    But rarely do they feed us
    Put our backs against the wall
    Or don't we count at all?
    Can you decide
    Are you mesmerised?
    Do you know which side you're standing?
    'Cause when it falls don't take us all
    Gotta know what we're demanding
    I never lie, can't you hear the cry?
    Coming from on high
    We're too young to die

    Do-do-do-do-do
    Da-da-do, da-da-do-do
    Do-do-do-do, da-da-do
    Da-da-do
    Do-do-do-do-do
    Da-da-do, da-da-do-do
    Do-do-do-do
    Da-da-do, da-da-do

    Do-do-do-do-do
    Da-da-do, da-da-do-do
    (Oh, don't you know)
    (We're too young to die)
    (Yeah, oh, I'm too young)
    Da-da-do, da-da-do-do
    (I'm just too young)

    Do-do-do-do-do
    Da-da-do, da-da-do-do
    (Oh, don't you know)
    (We're too young to die)
    (Yeah, oh, I'm too young)
    Da-da-do, da-da-do-do
    (I'm just too young)
