Lyrics

It's a tired old world that we're living in Where the voice of reason is wearing thin Got a beaten earth, got a hole in the sky Got a whole lot of angry people crying I want an eye for an eye Compassion sunk without a trace All trust is gone, have we lost our faith Got a taste for hate, got a lot of guns Got a whole lot of family values bitching Just blame it on the young And a little peace goes a long long way It's peace we want, for peace we pray A little peace goes a long long way It's peace we want, for peace we pray Ain't so crazy, John Lennon knew That a little peace goes a long long way when you want it to We crush the ones who don't agree Whose lifestyles clash with you and me Got our TV sets full of talking heads Got a whole lot of people walking around Like the night of the living dead And a little peace goes a long long way It's peace we want, for peace we pray A little peace goes a long long way It's peace we want, for peace we pray Ain't so crazy, John Lennon knew That a little peace goes a long long way when you want it to Our summer of love has come and gone Us sixties kids are getting on We had a dream way back then No reason why we can't dream again And a little peace goes a long long way It's peace we want, for peace we pray A little peace goes a long long way It's peace we want, for peace we pray Ain't so crazy, John Lennon knew That a little peace goes a long long way when you want it to Little peace goes a long long way It's peace we want, for peace we pray A little peace goes a long long way Hmm yeah yeah yeah Little peace goes a long long way It's peace we want, for peace we pray Little peace goes a long long way It's peace we want, for peace we pray Ain't so crazy, John Lennon knew That a little peace goes a long long way when you want it to Ain't so crazy, John Lennon knew That a little peace goes a long long way when you want it to And a little peace goes a long long way (It's peace we want, for peace we pray) (It's peace we want, for peace we pray.)
