Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah! No No
There's no time to beat around the BUSH
Now all the world is living in fear
The consequence a great disaster zone
The thought alone I cannot bear
And all I can predict is woe yeah!
This claim for power paints the city red
I isolate the Status Quo.
We no want no weapons of mass destruction
We no want no weapons of mass destruction
No we no really need
No no weapons no
This has got to be the final conflict
Bestowed upon humanity
So much for a global coalition
A false sense of security
We are just pawns in the scheme of things
No what our race or creed
Survivors of this holocaust
We international refugees
We no want no weapons of mass destruction
We no want no weapons of mass destruction
No no no lethal weapons
No no lethal weapons
No weapons no weapons
This crave for power
Is one disaster, destruction's in the air
These ego trips, by heads of states, who giveth not a care
For all your children and all my children
The future's in despair
No no no No no no
We do want no weapons no
