I don't know who's right and who's not
If it's a matter of ethnicity, of economy
Or just madness, hard to know

What I do know is that it's not fantasy
And that no one is right and so be it
A few months to a turning point
For you so modern

Once upon a time there was my life
Once upon a time there was my house
Once upon a time and I want it to be again

And I want the name of those who commit
To dealing with their own shame
Sleep well you who still have dreams, dreams, dreams

My name is never again, never again, never again
My name is never again, never again, never again
My name is never again, never again, never again
My name is never again

Here I am, I was following the orders I received
There was a time when I believed
That by enlisting in aviation
I would have traveled the world
And done good for my people
Done something important
Deep down, I liked to fly

Once upon a time there was an airplane
An American soldier
Once upon a time there was a child's game

And I want the names of those who lied
Of those who spoke of a just war
I no longer drop your holy bombs
Bombs, bombs, bombs, bombs!

My name is never again, never again, never again
My name is never again, never again, never again
My name is never again, never again, never again
My name is never again, never again, never again

I say yes I say it can be done
Knowing how to live together is hard, I know
But for this the compromise
Is the path of my growth

And I say yes to dialogue
Because peace is the only victory
The only gesture in every sense
That gives weight to our living
Living, living

I say yes I say it can be done
Seeking peace is the only victory
The only gesture in every sense
That will give strength to our living

My name is never again, never again, never again
My name is never again, never again, never again
My name is never again, never again, never again
My name is never again, never again, never again

And I want the names of those who lied
Of those who spoke of a just war
I no longer drop your holy bombs
(Never, never, never again)

And I want the names of those who commit
To dealing with their own shame
Sleep well you who still have dreams, dreams
(Never, never, never again)

Living, living, living, living
Living, living, living, living
My name is never again
Living, living, living
Living
Living, living, living
Living
