WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ANYMORE
©1991 - music and words by John R. Black, ℗ 42nd Street Music Seattle
We don't have to worry
About the Vietnam War
Because it's gone, gone in history
Like all wars before
You can put away those war books
No need to study strategy
No need to send young women and men
To fight for you and me
We don't have to worry
About the Russian threat
Because it's gone, gone in history
Like all enemies we forget
Put away the bombs and guns
No need for a cold war
Thank Gorbachev for what he's done
By opening the door
So there's less for defense
And more to feed the poor
(Chorus:)
I'm going to settle down in my hometown
Where I don't have to march in more parades
I'm going to put away my uniform
I don't plan to fight another war
Because we don't have to worry anymore
We don't have to worry about JFK
Because he's gone, gone in history
Before he had his say
You can put away the Warren Report
That told us how he died
The day our dreams were shattered
Remember how we cried
Forget about the questions
Truth is hidden from our view
Until our sons and daughters
Find out more than me and you
(Chorus)
