[Verse 1]
G

Sounds so cliche
G novelty,
Catch phrase of the day
Middle, index,

Someone said
F#7 Bm
Give peace a chance
And, that's all that we're saying

F#7 Bm
On the fence

Pretending,
G F#7 Bm
Our hearts are in the right place

Shows a trace of

Hypocrisy,
E7 F7
Don't tread on me,

Sounds so absurd, to me
We can't afford

Straight through the heart,
Peace can be found
That's where you start,
Not all around
