WITH ONE VOICE ‘PEACE’
Looking at the sunshine
But kept in the dark
The weatherman said it would be fine
Another glossy, casual remark
‘Cause a new war looms and we’ve seen it all before
A new war looms and we’ve seen it all before
The TV talks up the conflict again
It showed the friendly soldiers and some were weeping
It slowed the lonely viewers already sleeping
Said the special correspondent ‘the soldiers are despondent’
This time the administration has acted without consent
And its time to voice some real dissent
‘Cause a new war looms and we’ve seen it all before
A new war looms and we’ve seen it all before
No longer hypnotised by lies
The masses mobilized
To stop the growth of arms in the skies
The masses have been mobilized
They dance and march and wave placards
The poets and the singing bards
They say with one voice “No War!”
They say with one voice “Peace!”
They say with one voice “Peace!”
