Let's talk of peace
Sounds so cliche
A novelty
Catch, phrase of the day

Middle index

(Someone said give peace a chance)
And, that's all, that we're saying
(While we're sitting on the fence)

These words, lightly
Or else our world

Not all around

Make love
Not war
Sounds so absurd
To me

To say
These words, lightly
Or else our world
Will truly
Rest in
Peace
