	Also the similar webstite songfacts.com has a user who says that the title and lyrics were "Everybody Wants to Go to War." Still don't understand what the song means - keep in mind it came out in 1983 before the Berlin Wall fell. The song sounds like it could be talking about the meaninglessness of war with those lyrics but... hell I don't know.
