"I've Known No War" is a song by British rock band The Who, originally released on their 1982 album It's Hard. Written by Pete Townshend, the song reflects personal thoughts on the Cold War, and contains lyrics referring to the end of World War II: Galbraith took his pen to break down the men of the German army defeatedOn the nineteenth day of a spring day in May, Albert Speer was deletedAnd as soon as the battle was over, I was born in victorious cloverAnd I've never been shot at or gassed never tortured or stabbedAnd I'm sure - I'll never know war
