No... No... More Child Soldiers
written by Rashid Peters, John Collier and Andrew Benson Greene Jr. Performed by Jane Peters, Rashid Peters, Andrew Greene and John Collier. Keyboard by John Collier. (Real Media)

{CHORUS}

No no more ...

No no more child soldiers in Africa...

No no more child soldiers in Asia...

No no more child soldiers in Africa...

No no more child soldiers in Europe...

No no more child soldiers in Australia...

No no more child soldiers in America...

No no more child soldiers in this whole wide world...


REPEAT...CHORUS

SOLO

How long are we going to fight?

How long are we going to kill?

How long are we going to suffer?

Because of ignorance...?

Giving us guns and cigarettes

Introducing guns to us

No better food to eat

Or no better place to sleep

We are living like animals

Just creating confusion

We want to live like anybody...

Like anybody onn Earth

REPEAT...CHORUS

United Nations

Your attention

We call on you for protection

To take control of the child combatant

And the destiny of the young belligerant

Let them drop the guns for the sake of the pen

If not now my brothers, then when?

Let the pen represent the amunition,

Let the paper represent the weapon on Earth

So my brothers and sisters,

This will be a good start...

UNICEF come and take us back to school

For that we can call a future tool,

WFP come and give us some food

We promise to be good

Always at school

Peace...peace...peace that's what we want...

Love...love...love, that's what we need.
