Story Behind The Song
Ken Matthiesen and I are both products of the 60's. I have never understood why we have so many wars. Ken wrote these lyrics during another conflict in the Gaza Strip and sent them to me. I literally picked up my guitar and wrote this tune on the first take. I love when that happens. I hope this song inspires peace!!!

Lyrics
Oooh-oooh-oooh
Oooh-oooh-oooh
Brothers in far away places
Start fires at neighbors doors
We need to make some changes
But we don't need another war
We don't need another war..no-no-no
The sirens in the distance
Take me back to chilling times
Pain behind their existence
Sends shutters down my spine
Shutters down my spine-ine-ine-ine
(Chorus)
We don't need another war
Nobody's keeping score
There's no need for anymore
We don't need another war
Politics on the table
Don't answer to broken lives
Rockets fired at baby cradles
We have to hear them cry
Why can't we hear them cry-no-no-no
(repeat Chorus)
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh...no more wars
(repeat chorus)
We don't need another war
Listen to what I have to say
We don't need another war
We don't need another war
We don't need another war
