Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Let's talk of peace, sounds so cliche
A novelty catch phrase of the day
A middle index, sign of the time
Just as complex as water to
[Verse 2]
(Someone said give peace a chance) And that's all that we're sayin'
(While we're sitting on the fence) Pretendin'
(Our hearts are in the right place but your face shows a trace of)
Hypocrisy
[Verse 3]
Don't tread on me
Now you can see
[Verse 4]
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 (Ban the bomb)
[Verse 5]
Let's not pretend to justify
Rather amend where treasures lie
Straight through the heart, a peace can be found
A-that's where you start, not all around
[Verse 6]
(Someone said give peace a chance) And that's all that we're sayin'
(While we're sitting on the fence) Pretendin'
(Our hearts are in the right place but your face shows a trace of)
Hypocrisy
[Verse 7]
Don't tread on me, boy
Now you can see
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
(Make love) Not war
Sounds so absurd, ha, sounds so absurd
(We can't afford to say these words lightly)
(Or else our world will truly rest) Or else our world
Will truly rest in peace (In peace)
[Verse 10]
Make love, not war sounds so absurd to me
(We can't afford to say these words lightly)
We can't afford to say these words, oh yeah
(Or else our world will truly rest) Or else our world will truly rest in peace
(In peace)
Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace
[Verse 11]
Make love, not war sounds so absurd to me
[Verse 12]
Make love not war wounds so absurd to me
We can't afford to say these words lightly
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Or else our world) Will truly rest in peace
