A little peace
by Elton John
lyricscopy.com
It´s a tired old world that we´re living in
Where the voice of reason is wearing thin
Got a beaten earth, got a hole in the sky
Got a whole lot of angry people crying
"I want an eye for an eye"
Compassion sunk without a trace
All trust is gone, have we lost our faith
Got a taste for hate, got a lot of guns
Got a whole lot of family values bitching
"Just blame it on the young"
chorus
And a little peace goes a long long way
It´s peace we want, for peace we pray
A little peace goes a long long way
It´s peace we want, for peace we pray
Ain´t so crazy, John Lennon knew
That a little peace goes a long long way when you want it to
We crush the ones who don´t agree
Whose lifestyles clash with you and me
Got our TV sets full of talking heads
Got a whole lot of people walking around
Like the night of the living dead
[repeat chorus]
Our summer of love has come and gone
Us sixties kids are getting on
We had a dream way back then
No reason why we can´t dream again
[repeat chorus]
