	Story Behind the Song This song was written and recorded in one weekend, beginning on the Friday of the week that the 1991 War on Iraq began. Lyrics When I was a kid In school We pulled the lids of our desks down Put our heads on the ground and Waited for The Bomb's sounds Every night Dreams of fire and light And the end of it all We were just so small Huddled in the dark halls Didn't they see The world they'd made up for their kids Was going down? Wasn't that enough to wake them up? Watched the NV On our home TV And saw the bombs fly Watched the people die And the mothers cry Cousins Joe and Phil Both came home killed I was next to die Could feel the end nigh So I asked "Why?" Couldn't they see The world they'd made up for us kids Was going down? Wasn't that enough to wake them up? Peace Mir Paz Pax Shalom Amani Hei-wa Ping-Yon Planes start to fly Dark Birds flying high Thought we had enough - Ain't it been enough? Ain't that enough? So many people dyin' Cities burning in the sky Ain't that enough To wake you up? Please won't you wake up! Can't you see The world we're leaving to our kids Is going down? Ain't that enough to wake you up? Peace Mir Paz Pax Shalom Amani Hei-wa Ping-Yon
