PEACE IS OUT
words and music
copyright © 1994 by
Roy Zimmerman
We used to take non-violent stance
In Nehru jackets and bell bottom pants
We even used to sing 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

    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
    A war

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

We used to say all we needed was Love
Olive branches and sing of the dove
Now we’re looking for something above
Ninety K plus expenses

Now when someone says, “What the world needs now…”
It’s a private police force

    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
    A war

All we wanna say … Yeah!
Is Peace
Ain’t PC, it’s passe

Now when someone says, “We shall overcome”
They mean we’ll be right over

    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...
    A war
