Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What do you mean I don't believe in God?
I talk to him every day
What do you mean I don't support your system?
I go to court when I have to
What do you mean I can't get to work on time?
I got nothing better to do
What do you mean I don't pay my bills?
Why do you think I'm broke? Huh?
[Verse 2]
If there's a new way
I'll be the first in line
But it better work this time
[Verse 3]
What do you mean I hurt your feelings?
I didn't know you had any feelings
What do you mean I ain't kind?
Just not your kind
What do you mean I couldn't be the President of the United States of America?
Tell me something, it's still 'We the people' right?
[Verse 4]
If there's a new way
I'll be the first in line
But it better work this time
[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
Can you put a price on peace?
[Verse 6]
Peace, peace sells
Peace, peace sells
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
[Instrumental]
Solo: Poland
[Verse 7]
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
[Verse 8]
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
No, no, no, no, no!
[Verse 9]
Peace sells
[Verse 10]
Peace sells
