Peace Sells Lyrics

What do you mean, "I don't believe in God"?
I talk to him everyday
What do you mean, "I don't support your system"?
I go to court when I have to
What do you mean, "I can't get to work on time"?
Got nothing better to do
And, what do you mean, "I don't pay my bills"?
Why do you think I'm broke? Huh?

If there's a new way
Oh, I'll be the first in line
But it better work this time

What do you mean, "I hurt your feelings"?
I didn't know you had any feelings
What do you mean, "I ain't kind"?
Just not your kind

What do you mean, "I couldn't be the President
Of the United States of America"?
Tell me something, it's still "We the people" right?

If there's a new way
Oh, I'll be the first in line
But it better work this time

Can you put a price on peace?

Peace
Peace sells
Peace
Peace sells
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
(No, no no no no)
(Peace sells)

(Peace sells, aah)

What is the Meaning of Peace Sells?

Metal fans have long debated society's hypocrisy and judgment of those who don't fit the mainstream mold. This song is a biting critique of stereotypes and prejudices against nonconformists, delivered through a series of rhetorical questions that challenge common accusations. The narrator defends himself against assumptions about his religious beliefs, work ethic, and character while pointing out the hollow nature of these judgments. The recurring theme "peace sells, but who's buying?" suggests that while everyone claims to want peace, few are actually willing to invest in it or make the changes necessary to achieve it. It's a powerful commentary on how society often preaches one thing but practices another, particularly when it comes to accepting those who think or live differently. The message remains strikingly relevant today, questioning whether true peace is possible in a world full of prejudice and judgment.
