If The War Goes On - John Schumann[00:00:01]
Written by:John Schumann[00:00:07]
It was one of those blue and white biscuit tins[00:00:27]
With a picture of the queen[00:00:29]
And she kept his ribbons[00:00:34]
They sent her back in 1943[00:00:35]
And a family photo on the beach[00:00:41]
He was lifting up their son[00:00:43]
And a piece of yellow newsprint[00:00:47]
With the words[00:00:49]
If the war goes on[00:00:52]
It was a warm suburban morning[00:01:04]
Back in 1968[00:01:06]
And a khaki colored car pulled up[00:01:11]
Parked across the gate[00:01:13]
M I A[00:01:18]
K I A[00:01:19]
Another soldier gone[00:01:20]
And a generation lost in Asia[00:01:24]
If the war goes on[00:01:29]
The Kokoda trail to the Long Hai hills[00:01:35]
For every bullet fired[00:01:38]
The desperate drums of mankind[00:01:41]
Humming loudly on the wire[00:01:43]
There's oil to drown the ocean[00:01:48]
There's fire to drown the sun[00:01:50]
How much longer[00:01:55]
How much longer[00:01:56]
If the war goes on[00:01:59]
The war goes[00:02:23]
The war goes[00:02:24]
The war goes on[00:02:25]
The war goes[00:02:29]
The war goes[00:02:30]
The war goes goes on[00:02:31]
They strapped my brother to an F18[00:02:40]
Shot him into the night[00:02:43]
Sirens are screaming[00:02:47]
Run for cover[00:02:48]
Pull that mask on tight[00:02:49]
God's on our side[00:02:54]
God's on their side[00:02:55]
Covenant's ripped and torn[00:02:56]
How much longer[00:03:01]
How much longer[00:03:02]
If the war goes on[00:03:05]
She packed her little son a bag[00:03:11]
Strapped it to his back[00:03:14]
With some money and some food[00:03:17]
And the change close[00:03:18]
In case she didn't make it back[00:03:19]
She pinned a note inside his coat[00:03:24]
This little boy's name is Tom[00:03:26]
His armes to[00:03:30]
Look after him please[00:03:31]
If the war goes on[00:03:35]
The war goes on[00:03:41]
The war goes[00:03:48]
The war goes[00:03:49]
The war goes[00:03:50]
The war goes on[00:03:52]
The war goes[00:03:59]
The war goes[00:04:00]
The war goes[00:04:01]
The war goes on[00:04:03]
The war goes[00:04:10]
The war goes[00:04:11]
The war goes[00:04:12]
The war goes on[00:04:14]
The war goes[00:04:21]
The war goes[00:04:22]
