Song by Eddie Vedder / Ben Harper<br /><br>

(Feat. Ben Harper) <br>

<br>

I speak for a man who gave for this land <br>

Took a bullet in the back for his pay <br>

Spilled his blood in the dirt and the dust <br>

He's back to say: <br>

<br>

What he has seen is hard to believe <br>

And it does no good to just pray <br>

He asks of us to stand <br>

And we must end this war today <br>

<br>

With his mind, he's saying, "No more!" <br>

With his heart, he's saying, "No more!" <br>

With his life he's saying, "No more war!" <br>

<br>

With his eyes, he's saying, "No more!" <br>

With his body, he's saying, "No more!" <br>

With his voice, he's saying, "No more war!" <br>

<br>

Yeah, nothing's too good for a veteran <br>

Yeah, this is what they say <br>

So nothing is what they will get <br>

And there's no American way <br>

<br>

The lies we were told to get us to go <br>

Were criminal (?)... let us be straight <br>

Let's get to the point where our voices get heard <br>

And I know what I'll say <br>

<br>

With his mind, he's saying, "No more!" <br>

With his heart, he's saying, "No more!" <br>

With his life he's saying, "No more war!" <br>

<br>

With his eyes, he's saying, "No more!" <br>

With his voice, he's saying, "No more!" <br>

With his body, he's saying, "No more war!" <br>

<br>

No more innocents dying <br>

No more terror rising <br>

No more eulogizing <br>

No more evangelizing <br>

No more presidents lying <br>

No more war <br>

<br>

With our minds, we're saying, "No more!" <br>

With our hearts, we're saying, "No more!" <br>

With our lives, we're saying, "No more war!"<br>
