Daddy Can I Have A War? Lyrics - Terence Trent Darby

Daddy can I have a war? 

I had no army before 

Let me finish off what you never did 

And sell it off for the highest bid 

Maybe maybe maybe 

The time has come 

To spare the mother's babies 

Who'll come back numb 

Daddy can I have a war? 

Our hardware must be paid for 

Military mamas dishing the lead 

The same hands that tuck 'em in bed 

Maybe maybe maybe 

The time is here 

To spare the father's children 

Who'll disappear
