War Party

Eddy Grant


You invite me to a war party 
Me no wanna go 

Everybody seem to be inviting me to 
A war party, me no wanna go 
Heard about the last one 
So thanks but no thank you 

You killed off all the Indians 
And you killed off all the slaves 
But not quite 
So you killed off the remains 
You a look for me, and I'm looking for you 
I can't believe what they say bout you is true 
That you're a bad star just like Pharoah 
You killed the children just like Pharoah 
Now you sent a ticket for me 
It don't have R.S.V.P 

Oh Lord it's a war party 
Me no wanna go 
Heard about the last one 
So thanks but no thank you 

You've invited all our wise men 
Many times before 
To dance around your fires 
And even out your scores 
And when the tolls taken 
Of the valiant and the brave 
The only decoration is the one upon the graves 

Oh no You're a bad star- just like Pharoah 
You killed the children just like Pharoah 
Now you sent a ticket for me 
And it don't have R.S.V.P 

Oh Lord it's a war party 
Me no wanna go 
Everybody seen to be inviting me to 
A war party 
Me no wanna go 
Heard about the last one 
So thanks but no thank you 

Please don't send no ticket for me 
No don't send no ticket 
No don't send no ticket for me 
If it don't have R.S.V.P 

Oh Lord it's a war party 
Me no wanna go 
Everybody seen to be inviting me to 
A war party 
Me no wanna go 
Heard about the last one 
So thanks but no thank you 

Do you wanna go, say no 
Do you wanna go, say no 
Do you wanna go, say no 
Me no wanna go right now 
Me no wanna go right now 
They invite me to war party 
Me no wanna go 
Heard about the last one 
So thanks but no thank you
