War Is Not Healthy - Procol Harum

War is not healthy for adults and children

It scars and it maims, it blames and it kills them

War is not healthy, but no one should claim

The pain that’s inflicted could be worth the gain

It’s money in the pockets of the armament makers

It’s fame and it’s glory for the generals and dictators

It’s terror and shame and real human suffering

For the ones you love most are the ones who have nothing

It’s democracy (it's democracy)

It’s lunacy (it's lunacy)

It’s history (it's history)

It’s victory

War is not healthy for adults and children

War is not healthy for adults and children

It’s armchair warriors sucking their gums

It’s merchants of horror polishing guns

It’s praising the troops and waving the flag

It’s widows and orphans carrying the bag

It’s democracy (it's democracy)

It’s lunacy (it's lunacy)

It’s history (it's history)

It’s victory (it's victory)

War is not healthy for adults and children

I said war is not healthy for adults and children

Your head down

Democracy

It’s lunacy

Listen to me

Listen up

War is not healthy for adults and children

It scars and it maims, it blames and it kills them

War is not healthy, but no one should claim

The pain that’s inflicted could be worth the gain

War is not healthy for adults and children

Hell no

War is not healthy for adults and children

Listen here

Yeah
