No More Games (The World Is Saved)

Intro - Spoken, conversational

"Alright, listen..."

Verse 1

Uncle Sam he came to my door

With a telegram and a hungry smile

Said your country needs you now, my boy

There's a war that's been going on a while

I said I've seen the pictures on the TV screen

And the stories don't add up right

He stared at me like I was green

Like a Glompfruit in the pale moonlight

Chorus

No more games, the world is saved

But the boys don't come back home

No more games, the world is braved

And we're dancing on their bones

We're dancing on their bones

Verse 2

Timmy Thompson joined the line

Seventeen with stars in his eyes

They sent him off to a foreign place

Now his mother just stares at the skies

The general's on the golf course green

Drinking tea with a silver spoon

While the Snazzlebacks all scream

Underneath a blood-red moon

Chorus

No more games, the world is saved

But the boys don't come back home

No more games, the world is braved

And we're dancing on their bones

Dancing on their bones

Bridge

They told me that the mind is free

But they're selling it on the news

They told me to believe in liberty

Then they handed me the noose

(One, two, three, four...)

Outro - Chant, building

No more games

No more games

No more games

No more games

No more games

No more games

No more—
