Peace on Earth

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.

Well now, goodbye my friend

It was good to know you

I hope you understand

Twenty-one years and I ain't got nothin'

But I'm sittin' here, wonderin' if I can

Wishin' and dreamin', hopin' and reachin'

For things I was never meant to have

If my foolish life's a product of my gross misconceptions

Who's gonna give a damn

I don't want

Peace on Earth

I just wanna go

I just wanna go home

Well I know I never was much more than you expected

I expect that now I won't disappoint

But my dreams were not as hollow as the empty world I saw

Though I guess I never did get the point

Life cannot just be the only option left

The only thing you can count on in this world is regret

I don't want

Peace on Earth

I just wanna go

I just wanna go home

Right world, wrong time

And they say to me

"Hang cool teddy bear"

Best thing to do is just feed them fear

Get'em thinking about there and forgetin' about here

Don't try to fight, don't try to win

When they knock you down

You gotta get back up again

I don't wanna be an end

To break this back and bleed these hands

To take my stregth and all I am

To steal my soul for all your plans

I, I don't wanna be

But I'm not so self-righteous to think that I

Would not take one hundred thousand lives

To see, oh, my mother's eyes

And trace that southern smile

I don't wanna die

I don't wanna die

I don't want too much more

Than a working man deserves

Just a life worth living

And a death worth dying for

Oh, I don't want

Peace on Earth

I so want

Peace on Earth

I don't want

Peace on Earth

Oh, I so want

Peace on Earth

And I just wanna go home

I just wanna go home

I just wanna go home

I just wanna go home

I just wanna go home

I don't want

Peace on Earth
