Udo Lindenberg & Pascal Kravetz - What are wars for 1981 Nobody wants to die, that's obvious, so why are wars for? Mr. President, you're one of those men, you must know, can you explain it to me? No mother wants to lose her children and no woman her husband. So why do soldiers have to march off To murder people - explain that to me, what are wars for? Mr. President, I am ten years old now and I am afraid in this forest of nuclear missiles. Tell me the truth, tell me now, what is my life being risked for? And the lives of all the others - tell me why. They load their guns and kill each other. They stand opposite each other and could be friends, but before they get to know each other, they shoot each other dead. I think it's so crazy, why does it have to be like this? Have you asked all the billions of people all over the world whether they want it that way or is it also about money? Lots of money for the few bigwigs who build tanks and rockets and then buy gold and diamonds for their elegant wives or is it also about religious crap that people can't agree on which god is the real one? Or what other reasons are there that I find just as stupid? Well, maybe I still can't understand why wars are necessary. I'm probably still too young. I'm still a child.
