I don't know why everybody is worried
my brother told me that war is a party
they give you toys and you dress up all spiffy
then you stand in a line and they teach you to boogie
left left right hut hut hut
left left right hut hut hut
left left right hut hut hut
left left right
my brother says you'll see all kinds of sights
then people will greet you celebrating all night
it's cool when explosions fill the sky up with light
susie don't be concerned see war is alright
(chorus)
I wanna go
it's not so bad my brother would know
I wanna go
it's not so bad my brother would know
my birthday's next week I will be seven years old
I heard that my brother might be coming home
I wonder if he'll have a bunch of new stories
they're always real awesome and all full of glory
pew pew pew I got you!
pew pew pew I got you!
pew pew pew I got you!
pew pew pew!
my brother's the best he's won tons of awards
he gets to wear all sorts of medals and cords
from what I can tell it's the best kind of life
susie really don't worry now, war is alright
chorus
you're wrong susie war only is fun and games
on playgrounds I chase you exactly the same
my brother can tell you what it's really like
just wait susie, you'll see, war is alright
