Man Of War Lyrics

Man Of War

From The Jacksons' Goin' Places album
Written by Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff


You think your way
Is the best way of all
You don't know everything
So you don't know it all
You got to respect the man
For the way that he feels
You can't make people do
Things against their will

Man of War
Don't go to war no more
Why don't you
Why don't you study peace
Man of War
Don't go to war no more
Study peace
'Cause peace is what we need

Just because your army
Gives you strength and might
Truth gonna win...wrong will
Never conquer right
Every man has the right to
Think and be free
You're like a spoiled brat
You want everything you see

You think your bombs, guns, and planes
Make you a big man
When you invade
Another man's land
Tryin' to make him be
What you want him to be
Trying' to make him do
What you want him to do
Tryin' to make him say
What you want him to say
I know there's got to
Be a better way

You think your way
Is the best way of all
You don't know everything
So you don't know it all
You got to respect the man
For the way that he feels
You can't make people do things
Against their will

Man of war
Don't go to war no more
What don't you
What don't you study peace
Man of war
Don't go to war no more
Study peace
'Cause peace is what we need
