VERSE:

Politician man

Please hear what I say

The time is here and now

Don’t wait another day

VERSE:

When a man lives his life

He’s got a path to choose

To walk on higher ground

He might wear out his shoes

VERSE:

This world’s a special place

If you think things through

You have to love your brothers

And your sisters too

VERSE:

To hear a moral heartbeat

It ain’t easy at all

But if you listen hard

You just might hear the call

CHORUS:

If I talk about love

You don’t know a goddamn thing

When I think about happiness

You find that challenging

If I talk about unity

Let’s find some common ground

If we think about harmony

Love just might hang around

VERSE:

A fortress torn apart

By a cannonball

For a man to rise

Another man must fall

VERSE:

Another changed regime

A nation to restore

A substitute takes charge

The same guy as before

VERSE:

Never understood

Disdain for human life

Dwellings pulverized

Not fit for man or wife

VERSE:

One hundred sixty eight

Little schoolgirls died

Their futures ripped away

The Lord above them cried

CHORUS:

If I talk about love

You don’t know a goddamn thing

When I think about happiness

You find that challenging

If I talk about unity

Let’s find some common ground

If we think about harmony

Love just might hang around

VERSE:

When war begins

There is no end in sight

Some 20 years go by

No way to end the fight

VERSE:

Who can claim to see

Through the fog of war

Battles escalate

Nobody knows the score

VERSE:

Some people kick you

Even though you’re already down

When you need a hand

Same people let you drown

VERSE:

Someone must stand up high

Some way somehow

Where have the great men gone?

They sure are needed now

CHORUS:

If I talk about love

You don’t know a goddamn thing

When I think about happiness

You find that challenging

If I talk about unity

Let’s find some common ground

If we think about harmony

Love just might hang around
