The Only Way To Peace (Live And Acoustic 2019)

Run down, gunned down, everybody get down

Fifty up, fifty down, just around sundown

The bullets are flying high, and the fire's burning bright

The devil's on the loose in the middle of the night

Bad moon's on the rise, and the fire's comin' from down below

The reaper's cashin' in on all the bad seeds we sew

The world's burnin' slow and the devil's doing a happy dance

The only way to peace is just to give peace a chance

Indian man minds his own and still we invade his soil

Money man wants to poison his water in the name of oil

They ain't takin' care of our own because they gave it away to foreign lands

Now there's a beggar on every corner and a gun in everybody's hands

Crime is runnin' high and another cop is buried low

The reaper's cashin' in on all the bad seeds we see

The world's burnin' slow and the devil's doing a happy dance

The only way to peace is just to give peace a chance

Now there's fear in our eyes caused by the leaders we despise

You thought you could trust them, but it's all just a bag of lies

'Cause innocence is killed faster than the speed of light

It's all just politics, we're pawns in this endless fight

Bad moon's on the rise, and the fire's comin' from down below

The reaper's cashin' in on all the bad seeds we sew

The world's burnin' slow and the devil's doing a happy dance

The only way to peace

The only way to peace is just to give peace a chance
