I can't rest in war
Will you be my friend
Dark ages never change
I can't comprehend
Kiss me we self destruct
Can you hear me Lord
Yes I think we're fucked
But I can't rest in war
The righteous and the wicked
War and peace
The killing fist
Of the human beast
P.O.P.
Prodigies of peace
Hear me when I'm calling you
From my knees
I am praying for a better day
Oh, yeah
Playing for a better day
Anyway
Oh yeah, ahn, playing for a better day
Holy mother earth
Crying into space
Tears on her pretty face
Before she has been raped
Killing your future blood
Fill her with disease
Global abortion peace
That is what she needs
The righteous and the wicked
War and peace
The killing fist
Of the human beast
P.O.P.
Prodigies of peace
Hear me when I'm calling you
From my knees
I am playing for a better day
Oh, yeah
Playing for a better day
In the way
Are we fire flies
Flashing in the night
Big thunder rumble fish
Did you get it right
Headstrong battle song
Exploding souls be gone
Marvin Gaye my love
Where did we go wrong
The righteous and the wicked
War and peace
The killing fist
Of the human beast
P.O.P.
Prodigies of peace
Hear me when I'm calling you
From my knees
I am praying for a better day, yeah
One, two
Rank it, that's it?
