It Don't Make Sense (You Can't Make Peace) (Willie Dixon cover)
It Don't Make Sense (You Can't Make Peace)
Written by Willie Dixon
Lead Vocals by James Young
You have made great planes to span the skies
You gave sight to the blind with other men's eyes
You even made submarines stay submerged for weeks
But it don't make sense you can't make peace
You take one man's heart and make another man live
You even go to the moon and come back thrilled
Why you can crush any country in a matter of weeks
But it don't make sense you can't make peace
You can make a transfusion that can save a life
Why you can change the darkness into broad daylight
You make the deaf man hear and the dumb man speak
But it don't make sense you can't make peace
With all of the accomplishments of modern science, it doesn't make sense that we still find ourselves fighting wars and killing each other. How can we accomplish so many amazing things and not be enlightened enough to achieve a peaceful world? The problem, of course, not mentioned in the song, is that peace is a matter of the heart, not a matter of knowledge or scientific advancement.
