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.
No war no greed
That would be something to see
I hope I live that long
No blood in the streets
Just a distant memory
The history books recount
Now were all free
Now were all free
No war no greed
That would be something to see
I hope I live that long
No want no need
The struggle to end poverty
Finally has been won
Now were all free
Now were all free
No war no greed
That would be something to see
I hope I live that long
Hold my constitution
And have the courage of heart and mind
To right what is wrong
Now were all free
Now were all free
But now you can't believe
What you're told
You can't believe what you hear
The speeches of the politicians
Ring untrue and insincere
You can't believe what you read
You can't believe what's said
They count the targets and the bombs
But do not count the dead
They do not count the dead
No war no greed
That would be something to see
I hope I live that long
Not lose my faith
In every word on the page
In the face of freedom
No war no greed
No war no greed
No war no greed
