Lyrics
Let's talk of peaceSounds so cliche
A novelty
Catch phrase of the day
Middle index
Sign of the time
Just as complex
As water to
And that's all that we're saying
Pretending
Hypocrisy
Don't tread on me
Now you can see
Make love not war
Sounds so absurd to me
We can't afford
To say these words lightly
Or else our world
Will truly rest in peace
Let's not pretend
To justify
Rather amend
Where treasures lie
Straight through the heart
Peace can be found
That's where you start
Not all around
And that's all that we're saying
Pretending
Hypocrisy
Don't tread on me boy
Now you can see
Make love not war
Sounds so absurd to me
We can't afford
To say these words lightly
Or else our world
Will truly rest in peace
Not war
Sounds so absurd
Ha sounds so absurd
Nah we can't afford to say these words
Ha ha ha haa
Or else our world
Will truly rest in
Peace yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
We can't afford to say these words
Oh yeah
Or else our world will truly rest in peace
Rest in peace rest in peace rest in peace
Rest in peace rest in peace rest in peace
Rest in peace
Make love not war
Sounds so absurd to me
Make love not war
Sounds so absurd to me
We can't afford
To say these words light
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Will truly rest in peace
