NO ONE WINS A WAR IN AFGHANISTAN

(The Rain in Spain)

Oh, no one wins a war in Afghanistan!
So many tried before in Afghanistan!
Alexander was so great, but he lost every man
The Brits and Russia fled–how they ran, how they ran!

Where women have no hope–Afghanistan
Where fields are filled with dope–Afghanistan
The billions that we spend–just to kill Taliban
Would feed a lot of kids–and we can, yes we can!

Where help should be the rule –Afghanistan
Where girls could go to school–Afghanistan
If we held out a hand, with aid, with aid
We’d BRING PEACE TO a land so long betrayed!

Where no one wins a war– Afghanistan (SHOUT–I think they’ve got it!)
Instead let’s send a friendly caravan
With tools and books and food–by the ton! By the van!
Ten thousand volunteers– it’s a new Marshall Plan!

‘Cause no wins a war in Afghanistan
Oh, no one wins a war in Afghanistan!
