Rest In Peace
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Let's talk of peace
Sounds so cliche
A novelty, catch phrase of the day
Middle, index
Sign of the time
Just as complex
As water to
Someone said: Give peace a chance
And, that's all that we're saying
While we're sitting on the fence
Pretending
Our hearts are in the right place
But, your face
Shows a trace of
Hypocrisy
Don't tread on me
Now you can see
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
Let's not pretend
To justify
Rather amend
Where treasures lie
Straight through the heart
Peace can be found
That's where you start
Not all around
Someone said give peace a chance
And, that's all that we're saying
While we're sitting on the fence
Pretending
Our hearts are in the right place
But your face
Shows a trace of
Hypocrisy
Don't tread on me, boy
Now you can see
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
Make love not war, sounds so absurd, sounds so absurd
We can't afford to say these words, lightly
Or else our world, will truly, rest in peace
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
