Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All you hippies better start to face reality
All your far-fetched dreams of anarchy
Better start to see things the way they are
'Cause the way things are going they won't be going far
[Verse 2]
World peace can't be done
It just can't exist
World peace can't be done
Anarchy's a mess
[Verse 3]
Things are getting hectic, it's all gonna end
You don't know what's waiting around the bend
Open your eyes, perhaps you'll realize
If AIDS don't get ya then the warheads will
[Verse 4]
All you hippies better start to face reality
All your far-fetched dreams of anarchy
Better start to see things the way they are
'Cause the way things are going they won't be going far
[Verse 5]
World peace can't be done
It just can't exist
World peace can't be done
Anarchy's a mess
[Verse 6]
Things are getting hectic, it's all gonna end
You don't know what's waiting around the bend
Open your eyes, perhaps you'll realize
If AIDS don't get ya then the warheads will
[Verse 7]
World peace can't be done
World peace!
It just can't exist
World peace!
World peace can't be done
World peace!
Anarchy's a mess!
World peace!
[Verse 8]
World peace can't be done
World peace!
I'm telling ya it just can't
World peace!
It just won't exist
World peace!
World peace!
