Rest in Peace Songtext
von Extreme

Let′s talk of peace
Sounds so cliche
A novelty
Catch phrase of the day
Middle, index
Sign of the time
Just as complex
As water to

(Someone said give peace a chance)
And, that's all that we′re saying
(While we're sitting on the fence)
Pretending
(Our hearts are in the right place
But your face shows a trace of)
Hypocrisy
Don't tread on me
Now you can see


Make love not war, sounds so absurd to me
We can′t afford to say these words lightly
Or else our world will truly rest in peace

(Ban the bomb)

Let′s not pretend
To justify
Rather amend
Where treasures lie
Straight through the heart
Peace can be found
That's where you start
Not all around

(Someone said give peace a chance)
And, that′s all that we're saying
(While we′re sitting on the fence)
Pretending
(Our hearts are in the right place
But your face shows a trace of)
Hypocrisy
Don't tread on me, boy
Now you can see


Make love not war, sounds so absurd to me
We can′t afford to say these words lightly
Or else our world will truly rest in peace

(SOLO)

Make love, not war
Sounds so absurd, ha, sounds so absurd
We can't afford to say these words lightly, ha, ha, ha, ha
Or else our world will truly rest in peace
Make love not war, sounds so absurd to me
We can't afford to say these words lightly, yeah
Or else our world will truly rest in peace
Make love not war, sounds so absurd to me, oooh
We can′t afford to say these words lightly
Oooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Or else our world will truly rest in peace
