Give Peace A Damn Lyrics

Live it up

Two fingers up mother earth screwed up
Beautiful scenery betray that scenery
Pray to machinery tombstone cowboy
Start where your head at some wanna shout
Some gotta cut some get caught
Many fought untaught
Get ‘em in court save my hood
But what good is my hood
When God say it’s no good?
It’s no good when it's no God know God

Give peace a damn or we don’t stand a chance
Give a damn

Live it up

I get like Mingus
Ain’t askin' y'all to sing this
Every hood is the same
The only difference is the slang
Deeds of evil game changers
Upheaval evil salutations
To your mutations lotta nerve
To say you disturbed
Guess who’s coming to dinner
The same folks who picked your dinner
It don't sound like a winnin'
Only just the beginning
Respect the beginning
Peace to the world we all living in it
