The War Song

Originally written as a bedtime song by Christopher and Daniel Brouse, it later included the new addition, Dani, as a collaborator. It ended up becoming a family favorite, played at all occasions and celebrations. Kids rule!

[Silence]
[Intro]
She’s got one, too
Now watcha gonna do?

[Instrumental, Guitar Solo, Drum Fills]

[Verse 1]
You’d better run
He’s got a gun
And, she’s got one, too
They’re coming after you
(Now, watcha gonna do?)

[Chorus]
You start a war (war!)
And want more (more war!)
Young hearts for peace (war no more)
Want wars to cease (war no more)

[Bridge]
But, if you come after them
You’d better think again
… cause he’s got a gun

[Instrumental, Guitar Solo, Bass, Drum Fills]

[Verse 2]
Oh, yeah, that’s my son
He’s got a gun
And, daughter, too
Now whatcha gonna do?

[Chorus]
You start a war (war!)
And want more (more war!)
Young hearts for peace (war no more)
Want wars to cease (war no more)

[Bridge]
But, if you come after them
You’d better think again
… cause he’s got a gun

[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo, Bass, Drum Fills]

[Chorus]
You start a war (war!)
And want more (more war!)
Young hearts for peace (war no more)
Want wars to cease (war no more)

[Outro]
But, if you come after them
You’d better think again
Save the children!
