Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo

Hey all you people, for goodness sake,
Let’s get together, what does it take,
To make you understand the value of a man?
I’m talkin’ about your son and neighbor, yes I am. oh …

People let’s stop the war.
People let’s stop the war.
People let’s stop the war.
People let’s stop the war.

If we had a president, that did just what he said,
The country would be just alright, and no one would be dead,
From fighting in a war, that causes big men to get rich.
There’s money in them war machines, now ain’t this a bitch? oh …

I been excited, ain’t nobody ready.

They don’t know what to get ready for.
Let’s get ready and stop the war.

Ooo … excited, ain’t nobody ready.
They don’t know what to get ready for.
Let’s get ready and stop the war.

I been excited, ain’t nobody ready.
They don’t know what to get ready for.
Let’s get ready and stop the war.

Ooo … excited, ain’t nobody ready.
They don’t know what to get ready for.
Let’s get ready and stop the war.

Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo
