More about WAR!!!
WAR!! What was true back then has finally returned in full vengeance in its completed circle of destruction. This time, however, it’s a much greater and deadlier circle a circle which encompasses the globe a WWIII circle. This song WAR was written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong for the Motown label in 1969. Whitfield first produced the song – a self-evident anti-Vietnam War statement – with The Temptations as the original vocalists. by dPwOrKs2 group

They say we must fight
To keep our freedom
But Lord, knows there's got to be
A better way
