Stop the Fighting
(music and lyrics by Nelson)

Once there was a man who took a branch from a tree
He carved himself a spear to feed his family
But then he found out it could do so much more
And in one fell swoop he invented the war
There’s one thing I know for sure, we’ve got to stop all this fighting

Once there was a man who invented the gun
Made for keeping peace but no one ever won
Some men said they could take what they please
Those bullets gave them power, dropping men to their knees
There’s one thing I know for sure, we’ve got to stop all this fighting

Oh, look what’s happening now
Yeah, they’re taking our town
Oh, yeah they’re breaking us down baby
Yeah, gotta turn this around
Oh, look what’s happening now
Yeah, they’re coming to our town
Oh, but I’m coming around
Come on and hear my sound

Once there was a man who created the bomb
People stood in fear because they knew it was wrong
The slaughtering of millions in a single pass
Is enough to make us wanting for a better past
There’s one thing I know for sure, we’ve got to stop all this fighting
