Give Peace A Break Lyrics by Left at London

2 Rowdy 4 Dennys

2014

The pacifist admitted to abusing both his wives,
But, hey, he dressed like Jesus, so it's fine.
As long as his good image is a marketable thing,
We'll still be singing "Lucy in the sky"
The news is so depressing,
Why make history depressing?
After all, John Lennon wrote some catchy songs
It's all just for the better
If we say we can't be better
Because "better" might imply that we were wrong
The pacifist's apartheid had been silenced by the scribe,
He spoke a bit like Jesus, so who cares?
Besides, would he be likable without his catchy quotes?
He'd be a racist pervert who's in need of hair
The news is so depressing,
Why make history depressing?
After all, Mahatma Gandhi went on strike
It's all just for the better
If we say we can't be better
Because "better" hints we weren't already liked
While a black man gets stitched up with both hands still in cuffs
while another queer 16-year-old has died
while a girl gets called a whore on her way to therapy,
We'll thank god humans have some good inside
After all I shared the hell out of Kony 2012
I had given an old homeless guy a buck
I poured ice on my head, but didn't donate shit
And if I didn't do that, I'd be fucked
Otherwise, all humankind would probably suck much more cuz
The news is so depressing,
Why make history depressing?
I'll take all the inspiration
I can get
It's all just for the better
If we say we can't be better
Because "better" might imply we don't forget
If he doesn't act like Jesus,
But he looks a bit like Jesus,
All of Jesus' requirements have been met
(Man, do you remember when Saturday Night Live used to be good? Like... we used to have Kristin Wiig, we used to have Bill Hader, we used to have Keenan from Nickelodeon, it was awesome I loved it, and all of a sudden, it just... changed. I mean... I like some of the new cast members, but it's just not what it used to be, man. It's not what it used to be.)
