Peace & Love  (what the hell?)

 

What the hell were they protesting in the '60's

Didn't they know there was a war goin' on?

Wrapped up in rainbows and flowers of the earth

It wouldn't be long before that vision was gone

Well, make love not war, Love all thy neighbors

Some messages that they sent

Well, they tried and they failed then moved on to the next thing

I wonder where they all went

They wanted peace & love

 

What the hell were they dancing for in the '70's

Didn't they know blacks & whites can't get along?

This racial tension will last for all lifetime

The music will play but we'll never sing the song

They just got caught up in good thingsand thought of themselves

While others lived in fear all alone

Well, they just turned their heads and went to the disco

And had sex with everyone

But that's not peace & love

 

What the hell were the '80's and the '90's

Did we discover the truth in money bags?

We speak in riddles, using extra soft language

And who we are comes through things that we have

Now they tell us to say "no" to sex and the drugs

And so much for rock & roll

Guess it's time to be free using technology

In this retro - fashion show

Who still wants peace & love?

I got your peace & love!
