All right, be ready, here it comes.
Lovin' war, lovin' war,
there ain't much dif
ference in the two
They've both been the great
downfall of men
Well, lovin' war, lovin' war,
oh, the shame of it all
And it's been that way
since the East Dunford
rolled Adam in
Now, I've seen battle
in the two world wars
Got a Purple Heart to show for my scars
I got promoted from a Private to a Captain
as far as cause
I was a hero fighting in the jungle
Well, I swore back then
that if I survived
Got back home alive
That if war come again,
I'd run and hide
Cause, yes, I'm a coward
Well, I made it back home,
got married, you see
They're fighting in the back of me
I thought, see how wrong a man can be
Been a fight with my wife
ever since the wedding
Cause I got us in debt
just as far as we could go
Went and bought a little bungalow
But we're tired of the fighting
in a month or so
Because young love certainly
has its problems.
Love and war, love and war,
there ain't much dif
ference in the two.
They've both been the great
downfall of man.
Well, love and war, love and war,
oh, the shame of it all.
And it's been that way
since he done poor old Adam in.
Well, at least old Custer
fought till he finally died.
But Samson died, because a woman lied.
So the only change for a poor man's hide
is AWOL or alimony
Cause love and war
wasn't put here to stay
When Adam took a bite
from the apple that day
If he'd have just slung
the blame thing away
Life sure would have swung,
wouldn't it, brother?
Love and war, love and war
There ain't much dif
ference of the two
They've both been the great
downfall of man
Well, love and war, love and war
Oh, the chain's hungin' off
And it's been that way since the evening,
poor old man
Listen to me friends and believe me
Love and war, love and war
Ain't much difference in the two
They've both been the great downfall of man
