| LyricsI don't want to sing a song about the war
 I don't want to talk about what it's really for
 I don't wanna talk about the VP getting rich off the score
 I don't want to watch the rich killing off the poor
 
 I want something to believe in
 That doesn't cost another man
 I want leaders not deceiving CEOs on CNN
 I want peace, peace, peace
 I want a chance for an honest life
 Not an endless war for a bigger slice
 I want peace.  Peace.  Peace.
 
 I don't want to think about the sons and daughters
 Fighting a fight started by their fathers
 or the mothers taking comfort from a statistician
 and the hollow lies of a politician
 They need something to believe in
 That doesn't cost another girl
 They need leaders not deceiving
 businessmen using up the world
 They need peace, peace, peace
 They need a chance for their daughter's life
 Not this endless war for a bigger slice
 They need peace
 
 They’re telling us lies to keep us down and afraid
 We’re lining up to give our freedom away
 They’re killing thousands of people everyday,
 breaking the heart of the US of A
 Taking away our freedom to say
 Give our freedom away…
 No one sane wants war
 Even the terrified want something more
 When hope looks like a weapon to a desperate man,
 we can share the world, try to understand, or united we’ll fall and divided we stand….
 
 We need something to believe in
 That doesn’t take an eye for an eye
 We need a future not a feeling
 That won’t be safe unless we buy the lies
 We need peace, peace, peace
 We need a chance for a better state
 Not an endless flow Of blood, oil and hate
 We need peace, peace, peace
 
 I don't want to talk about what it's going to cost
 I don't want to sing about a generation lost
 
 They need something to believe in They need something to believe
 Don’t let it be this:
 They're waving their flags, standing tall with pride clinging to rhetoric to justify
 the immeasurable loss of those who'll die
 And who can blame them?
 They need something to believe
 Don't let it be this
 We need peace peace peace
