I’m gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
I’m gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
I ain’t gonna study war no more
I ain’t gonna study war no more
I ain’t gonna study war no more
Study war no more
I ain’t gonna study war no more
I ain’t gonna study war no more
Study war no more
Listen to my Mariachi band
With a friend in Mexico
With a friend in Mexico
With a friend in Mexico
Listen to my Mariachi band
With a friend in Mexico
We won’t study war no more
I ain’t gonna study war no more
I ain’t gonna study war no more
Study war no more
I ain’t gonna study war no more
I ain’t gonna study war no more
Study war no more
I’m gonna learn to play a sitar
With a friend in India
With a friend in India
With a friend in India
I’m gonna learn to play a sitar
With a friend in India
We won’t study war no more
I ain’t gonna study war no more
I ain’t gonna study war no more
Study war no more
I ain’t gonna study war no more
I ain’t gonna study war no more
Study war no more
I’m gonna learn to play those conga drums
With a friend in Nigeria
With a friend in Nigeria
With a friend in Nigeria
I’m gonna learn to play those conga drums
With a friend in Nigeria
We won’t study war no more
I ain’t gonna study war no more
I ain’t gonna study war no more

I ain’t gonna study war no more
Study war no more
I’m gonna learn to live in peace
With my friends around the world
With my friends around the world
With my friends around the world
I’m gonna learn to live in peace
With my friends around the world
We won’t study war no more
I ain’t gonna study war no more
