We need a word of wisdom
And that word is “Peace”
We need a word of wisdom
Every TV radio station every
Newspaper hooked to the wire
Every newscast and editorial
Every handbill and crass propagandum
Every product made from nine-eleven
Sells this war like toothpaste
We need a word of wisdom
And that word is ‘Peace.”
We need a word of wisdom
Every elastic politician
Every flim-flam accountant knows
It’s so. That nothing sells like fear.
Nothing but sex, and that’s out of the question.
Every poster and commercial tells you
That war is honorable and justified
We need a word of wisdom
And that word is ‘Peace”
We need a word of wisdom.
