Have you heard that people talk about you
Like you're art?
They say you're coming along nicely
But you've still got a ways to go
They never fail to ask me how you are
But they only listen for the things that already know
Oh, but I know, and you know that

(Chorus:)
If you give them one then they'll take ninety-
Nine percent of all you have to give
Now that's if you let them
They stand for peace, but they'll keep fighting
I'm not sure what all the fighting's for
But you know they are winning
They're winning
They're winning
They're winning a losing war

I found an asteroid the other day
In my yard
I picked it up and I figured I would give it you
But in a flash the people came from very far
To search it over for some kind of owners to sue
And I'm telling you

(Chorus:)
If you give them one then they'll take ninety-
Nine percent of all you have to give
Now that's if you let them
They stand for peace, but they'll keep fighting
I'm not sure what all the fighting's for
But you know they are winning
They're winning
They're winning
They're winning a losing war

(Bridge:)
They sell guns and they sell nature
They sell God and spread him on their TV screens
Oh but if there's something I could learn to do
I'm gonna try to wrap it up in words for you

(Chorus)
If you give them one then they'll take ninety-
Nine percent of all you have to give
Now that's if you let them
They stand for peace, but they'll keep fighting
I'm not sure what all the fighting's for
But you know they are winning
They're winning
They're winning
They're winning a losing war

Oh that's for sure
But let them have their losing war
