"Peace By Peace"

"Peace By Peace"

[Written on February 21st, 2003 and sent to Bush]

Oil's gotten to your head
You're burning out our sky
Your God - The Dollar's – dead
Is it its Tomb, you pry?

(Chorus)
Stop it! Basta! Assez!
Listen! Acou! Oyez!
Feel it! Tocca! Touchez!
Smell it! Senti! Sentez!
Taste it! Proba! Goûtez!
Look here! Kita! Mira!
Guarda mi! Regardez!
Yo? Shoof, Habibi...
Hear This Piece,
Peace by Peace!!

Don't make my Moon go Red
Don't let my Eagle cry
Disarm! - Try Love instead!
Don't let Life’s Vine go dry

(Bridge)
Why be so deeply superficial,
Shedding good blood for oil and money?
Why must Greed be a Demi-God,
To whom we bow, perpetually?
Who cares about the land we’ve got,
If we lose all for which we stand?
Can’t we just learn to live together,
Before our sons’ bones turn to sand?

What's it gonna take?
How far will you go?
War is a mistake
Surely, this, you know!

Our world’s had enough
Way more than its share
Our land’s red with blood
Why do you pursue?

(Chorus)
Stop it! Basta! Assez!
Listen! Acou! Oyez!
Feel it! Tocca! Touchez!
Smell it! Senti! Sentez!
Taste it! Proba! Goûtez!
Look here! Kita! Mira!
Guarda mi! Regardez!
Yo? Shoof, Habibi...
Hear This Piece,
Peace by Peace!!

Love… The Peace this world is missing…
