ONE FUCKING WAR AT A TIME

So many wars out there raging
So many casualties it feels like a crime
Wouldn't it be great
If we could just get it down to
One fucking war at a time

There's a war on drugs going nowhere
A war on terror that nobody can win
A war on the poor being waged by the rich
A war on the fat being waged by the thin

There's war between Christians & Muslims
There's war between the left and the right
There a war between Main Street & Wall Street
War raging all day and all night

There's war between haters and lovers
There's war between the young and the old
There are wars that serve just one purpose

In the market where guns are bought and sold

There's new war starting tomorrow
Bringing with it a new set of fears
And try as may, you will never put an end to
The war exploding between your ears

So many wars out there raging
So many victims it feels like a crime
Wouldn't it be great
If we could just get it down to
One fucking war at a time

So aptly put, Jim. I love the rhyme, the rhythm and the reality. 
Perhaps, however, ‘world peace’ (beauty pageant queens aside) is a higher aspiration than one war at a time, no matter how humanity appears to ‘fight’ against it 

Sometimes I wish others wanted ‘peace with me’ instead of a ‘piece of me’.  🤔
