lyrics

The hawks are on the wing
Where doves would never fly
As barrel bombs and sarin
Are falling from the sky
Tyranny and terror
A generation gone
While back home in America
The parties carry on

We fuss and fight
and argue through the night
Each angry word
takes us farther from the light
Where is the love
in this sorry circumstance?
And where are the voices singing
Give peace a chance?

Where is the love,
Where is the romance,
Where are the voices singing
Give peace a chance
And no more war, na na na na no

The doomsday clock is ticking
A new arms race begun
All options on the table
Politics under the gun
Leaders full of bluster
Great armadas turn,
Like the final stand of Custer
What lessons shall be learned?

We fuss and fight
and argue through the night
Each angry word
takes us farther from the light
Where is the love
in this sorry circumstance?
And where are the voices singing
give peace a chance?

Just across our red lines
May the battles cease
Stop the bombs from falling
Negotiate the peace,
Put an end to famine,
Poverty and strife
And lend a hand to those who seek
To find a better life

We fuss and fight
and argue through the night
Each angry words takes us
farther from the light
Where is the love
in this sorry circumstance?
And where are the voices singing
give peace a chance?
