	Lyrics World military spending now is well over $500 billion annually. Today the nations have enough nuclear weapons to wipe out more than a million large cities, far more cities than exist. The Battle of the Somme, lasting from July to October 1916, cost the Germans about 500,000 men, the British 400,000 and the French 200,000. Total cost1,100,000 men! The result? Nothing of any value had been gained - Historian Palmer World War I involved countries comprising more than 90 percent of the worlds population - Columnist Sydney J. Harris Over 8,000,000 soldiers were killed in World War I and more than 12,000,000 civilians died by massacre, starvation or exposure. - Encyclopedia Americana, The usual world figure is 21 million dead, but it is probably a gross underestimation. That many may well have died on the Indian subcontinent alone; the mortality there in October of 1918 was without parallel in the history of disease. - Scientific American. 6 million Jews in Nazi concentration camps during World War II? or the total death toll from that war55,000,000? More recently, consider the 1979 reports of a possible slaughter of over 2 million Cambodians. What other generation ever developed and used a weapon that in a single blast eventually killed perhaps as many as 140,000 persons, such as the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan? World War II cost more than $1,150,000,000,000. More than 50 countries took part in the war, and the whole world felt its effects." I found myself lying on the ground covered with pieces of wood. When I stood up in a frantic effort to look around, there was darkness. Terribly frightened, I thought I was alone in a world of death, and groped for any light. . . . Suddenly, I wondered what had happened to my mother and sister . . . When the darkness began to fade, I found that there was nothing around me. My house, the next door neighbors house, and the next had all vanished. . . . It was quiet, very quietan eerie moment. I discovered my mother in a water tank. She had fainted. Crying out, Mama, Mama, I shook her to bring her back to her senses. After coming to, my mother began to shout madly for my sister, Eiko! Eiko! - Hiroshima survivor Former U.S. President Richard Nixon said that since World War II one hundred or more wars have been fought. And during this time, more than 10 million persons have been killed by weapons of war, according to a New York Times editorial of January 27, 1975. In Indochina alone, the United States dropped 7,733,518 tons of bombs, more than three times the 2,075,244 tons dropped in World War II!
