about

Anti-War song in a funny way.

lyrics

Back in the ages when mammoths walked the earth,
Tribes defend their hunting grounds, fought with spear and blunt.
They had a damn good reason, they had mouths to feed.
Other tribes formed a threat, so they made them bleed.

You can’t take the war out of man

The mighty Roman empire and their everlasting quest.
They conquered every enemy and wiped out all the rest.
Napoleon was no different, he planned to rule them all,
That little French warlord took nations by the balls.

You can’t take the war out of man
No you can’t take the war out of man
There’s war about religion, there’s war about land.
For those who play war games, once their turn will end.

Uncle Sam sends Joe and Jane to a country far away.
Not with their swimming suits but big guns to keep the peace they say.
He knows it’s good for business to feed the war machine.
Feed it with our babies and keep your own hands clean

You can’t take the war out of man

Mother Russia strong and proud, rules the motherland.
Perestroika and Glasnost was what she would demand.
She has her own reasons to fight and make a stand,
She points her missiles to the west, the home of Uncle Sam.

You can’t take the war out of man
No you can’t take the war out of man
There’s war about religion, there’s war about land.
For those who play war games, once their turn will end.
Play the game dirty, play the game fair
Players of war games all loose at the end

How does a bottle of whiskey taste if you have six true musicians doing their thing? How's rock 'n' roll as these same guys mix their passion for Irish folk, steaming Americana and solid rock to a swinging cocktail?
