Peace Is Out Lyrics by The Foremen

Folk Heroes

0

[Verse 1]
We used to take a nonviolent stance
In Nehru jackets and bell-bottom pants
We even used to say "Give peace a chance"
God, we must have been joking
We used to slander the words of our prez
And praise whatever the Tao Te Ching says
We used to want to sing like Joan Baez
Jesus, what were we smoking?
Now when someone says "Hell no, we won't go"
What they mean is "to Berkeley"
[Chorus]
Peace is out
Love is out
No one wants
To hear about
Peace and love
Anymore
Now we're fighting
In a war against homelessness
A war against drugs
'Cause it's in to be
In to be
In to be in a war
[Verse 2]
We used to traipse around in tie-dye tights
Dropping daisies in enemy sights
Now we're fighting for property rights
Must have come to our senses
Used to say all we needed was love
(All we need is love)
Olive branches and sign of the dove
Now we're looking for something above
90k plus expenses
Now when someone says "what the world needs now"
It's a private police force
[Chorus]
Peace is out
Love is out
No one wants
To hear about
Peace and love
Anymore
Now we're fighting
In a war against joblessness
A war against crime
'Cause it's in to be
In to be
In to be in a war
[Bridge]
All we wanna say (say) (say)
Is peace ain't PC, it's passé
Now when someone says "We shall overcome"
They mean "We'll be right over"
[Chorus]
Peace is out
Love is out
No one gives
A rat's ass about
Peace and love
Anymore
Now we're fighting
In a war against violence
A war against poverty
A war against ignorance
A war against obesity
A war against censorship
A war against cavities
'Cause it's in to be in
In to be in
In to be in (in)
