[Verse 1]
A#
Let's talk of peace,
Sounds so cliche
A# novelty,
Catch phrase of the day
Middle, index,
Sign of the time
Just as complex,
As water to
[Pre-Chorus]

Someone said
A7 Dm
Give peace a chance
And, that's all that we're saying
A#
While we're sitting
A7 Dm
On the fence

Pretending,
A# A7 Dm
Our hearts are in the right place

Hypocrisy,
G7 G#7
Don't tread on me,
G7 G#7

A#7 F7
Sounds so absurd, to me
We can't afford
A#7 F7
To say these words, lightly

Will truly, rest in peace

To justify
Rather amend,
Where treasures lie
Straight through the heart,
Peace can be found
That's where you start,
Not all around
