All we are saying is give peace a chance

All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance

[Outro]
(Come on, come on, come on)
All we are saying is give peace a chance

All we are saying is give peace a chance
(Let's hear it for the hippies and the yippies)
All we are saying is give peace a chance
(Let's hear it for the people, now)
All we are saying is give peace a chance
(Let's hear it for Hare Krishna)
All we are saying is give peace a chance
(Everybody now, come on)
All we are saying is give peace a chance
([?])
All we are saying is give peace a chance
(Everybody now, come on)
All we are saying (It won't [?] unless you want it and we want it now) is give peace a chance
All we are saying (Come together) is give peace a chance
(Come together, all together)
All we are saying is give peace a chance
(Can everybody hear me? Yes!)
All we are saying (We can get it tomorrow or today) is give peace a chance
(Unless you want it now, I'll get it now)
All we are saying is give peace a chance
(Yes, yes)
All we are saying is give peace a chance
(Okay, beautiful, yes
We've made it!)
