This song was first released on the one world album. it is the only album it appears on. 
 
I am the son of a grassland farmer 
Western oklahoma nineteen forty three 
I always felt grateful to live in the land of the free 
I gave up my father to south korea 
The mind of my brother to vietnam 
Now there's a banker who says i must give up my land 
There are four generations of blood in this topsoil 
Four generations of love on this farm 
Before i give up i would gladly give up my right arm 
 
What are we making weapons for 
Why keep on feeding the war machine 
We take it right out of the mouths of our babies 
Take it away from the hands of the poor 
Tell me, what are we making weapons for 
 
I had a son and my son was a soldier 
He was so like my father, he was so much like me 
To be a good comrade was the best that he dreamed he could be 
He gave up his future to revolution 
His life to a battle that just can't be won 
For this is not living, to live at the point of a gun 
I remember the nine hundred days of leningrad 
The sound of the dying, the cut of the cold 
I remember the moments i prayed i would never grow old 
 
What are we making weapons for 
Why keep on feeding the war machine 
We take it right out of the mouths of our babies 
Take it away from the hands of the poor 
Tell me, what are we making weapons for 
 
For the first time in my life i feel like a prisoner 
A slave to the ways of the powers that be 
And i fear for my children, as i fear for the for the future i see 
Tell me how can it be we're still fighting each other 
What does it take for a people to learn 
If our song is not sung as a chorus, we surely will burn 
 
What are we making weapons for 
Why keep on feeding the war machine 
We take it right out of the mouths of our babies 
Take it away from the hands of the poor 
Tell me, what are we making weapons for 
 
Have we forgotten 
All the lives that were given 
All the vows that were taken 
Saying never again 
Now for the first time 
This could be the last time 
If peace is our vision 
Let us begin 
 
Have we forgotten 
All the lives that were given 
All the vows that were taken 
Saying never again, never again 
Now for the first time 
This could be the last time 
If peace is our vision 
Let us begin, let us begin
