Meat Loaf - Peace on Earth Lyrics

Well now goodbye my friend, it was good to know you
I hope you understand
Twenty-one years and I ain't got nothing
But I'm sitting, wondering if I can
Wishing and dreaming, hoping and reaching
For things I was never meant to have
If my foolish life's a product of my gross misconceptions
Who's gonna give a damn?

I don't want
Peace on Earth
I just want to go
I just want to go home

Well I know I never was much more than you expected
I expect now I won't disappoint
But my dreams were not as hollow as the empty world I saw though
I guess I never did get the point
Life cannot just be the only option left
The only thing you can count on in this world is regret

I don't want
Peace on Earth
I just want to go
I just want to go home

Right world, wrong time
And they say to me, "Hang cool Teddy Bear"

Best thing to do
Is just feed them fear
Get them thinking about there
And forgetting about here
Don't try to fight
Don't try to win
When they knock you down
You gotta get back up again

I don't wanna be an end
To break this back and bleed these hands
To take my strength and all I am
To steal my soul for all your plans
I, I don't wanna be
But I'm not so self-righteous to think that I
Would not take one hundred thousand lives
To see my mother's eyes
And trace that southern smile
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I don't want too much more than a working man deserves
Just a life worth living and a death worth dying for

Oh

I don't want
Peace on earth
I so want peace on earth
I don't want
Peace on earth
Oh, I so want peace on Earth

And I just wanna go home
I just want to go home
I just want to go home
I just want to go home
I just want to go home

I don't want
Peace on earth
