Make Rock Not War
Composer(s): Bob Halligan Jr.
Performer(s): Blue Öyster Cult



Moments of pleasure, in a world of pain
Working together, only to fight again
If we wait for the world leaders to decide, who will die first?
So don't wait no more!
Tell me, make rock not war! What are we dying for?
Rock not war! Nobody wins!
Rock not war! What are we trying for?
And the fools rush in, don't they
For the grand beginning of the end!

Pulses are racing 
You know the blade may fall
Destinies tracing 
I sing to a great star-fall
And you know there's a real answer, but they've already been told
We've heard our lies being cold!

Tell me, make rock not war! What are we dying for?
Rock not war! Nobody wins!
Rock not war! What are we trying for?
And the fools rush in, don't they
For the grand beginning of the end!

The hourglass turns over, and time is running low
Will the sandman's pollen bring sleep before we know?

Yeah, you know there's a real answer, and we've died more than been told
So don't wait no more!
Tell me, make rock not war! What are we dying for?
Rock not war! Nobody wins!
Rock not war! What are we trying for?
And the fools rush in, don't we
For the grand beginning of the end!

Make rock not war!
Make rock not war!
Make rock not war!
Make rock not war!
Make rock not war!
