Eddy Grant - War Party 1983
You invite me to a war party
me no wanna go.
Everybody seem to be inviting me to - a war party
me no wanna go.
Heard about the last one
so thanks but - no thank you - you.
You killed off all the Indians
and you killed off all the slaves.
But no quite
so you killed off the remains.
You a look for me
and I'm looking for you.
I can't believe what they say about you is true.
That you're a bad star just like Pharoah.
You killed the children just like Pharoah.
Now you send a ticket for me
it don't have R.S.V.P.
Oh Lord it's a war party
me no wanna go
Everybody seem to be inviting me to - a war party
me no wanna go.
Heard about the last one
so thanks but - no thank you - you
You've invited all our wise men many times before
To dance around your fires and even out your scores.
And when the tolls taken of the valiant and the brave
The only decoration is the one upon the graves.
Oh no you're a bad star just like Pharoah
You killed the children just like Pharoah.
Now you send a ticket for me
and it don't have R.S.V.P.
Oh Lord it's a war party
me no wanna go
Everybody seem to be inviting me to - a war party
me no wanna go.
Heard about the last one
so thanks but - no thank you - you.
(Instrumental)
Please don't send no ticket for me
no don't send no ticket.
No don't send no ticket for me
if don't have R.S.V.P.
Oh Lord it's a war party
me no wanna go
Everybody seem to be inviting me to - a war party
me no wanna go.
Heard about the last

Me and me friend are having an argument about the meaning of this song. What we wonder is simply wether to mean "War party" as a party like in birthday party, or a party as in a war patrol. A simple answer is appreciated :)

Very powerful song, He puts so much heart, soul into his music. I wish him many many more years as a musician. I hope they get the visa issues settled, get dates planned for a big us tour. I dont care how far i would have to drive to go see him, stay in hotels or just camp out in the back of my suv, But go see him i will!
