Lyrics
Peace, Love, War
Peace- Can you take it or leave it
I don?t believe it doesn?t anyone care
Wave the flag let?s be patriotic
Call everyone else psychotic who doesn?t think like you do
C/ Can you understand your fellow man
Your fellow women and children too
Bomb the hell out of your neighbor
Say that?s what our god wants us to do
Love- It?s a word in the bible
But we?re talking survival of the way that we live
Smile and say if you?re not for us
Then you must be against us
And on the enemy?s side C/
War-Tell me what is it for
Does it gain anymore of the love that we need
Because we fight does that make us right
Prove to the world of our might
To protect our greed C/
