Text:

I’m gonna lay down my sword and shield,
Down by the riverside . . .
And I ain’t gonna study war no more.
I ain’t gonna study war no more . . .

I’m gonna shake hands and make a friend . . .

I’m gonna lay down my hate and fear . . .
. . . until that day we won’t have war anymore.

Then we won’t study war no more . . .
There won’t be time for war no more.
We won’t have time for war no more.
Never gonna have time for war no more,
No more war, no more war.
