Alright, yeah Make the sound of peace sing out (Stop the war, now) Everybody, don't put if off another day Make your voices roar (Stop the war, now) Just like thunder y'all (Don't put it off) another day Sing a song now (Stop the war, now) Listen to me, y'all (Don't put it off) another day Listen to me A knock on the door, there's a letter from the war Saying, "Greetings, we want you" If I refuse to fight they say that that ain't right And time you'll have to do Somebody please tell me what is war all about? And why must I kill against my will? I just can't figure it out Ow (Stop the war, now) Good God, hear me say (Don't put it off) another day Everybody sing (Stop the war, now) now, now, now (Don't put it off) another day All we got to do is, listen (Give peace a chance) Aww, don't throw another life away Listen to me now Think about all the soldiers That are dead and gone today If you'd ask them to fight again What do you think they'd say? I'm not trying to be funny Just trying to get my point across War is world's enemy number one It's that time that we called it off (Stop the war, now) Good god, hear me say (Don't put it off) another day Everybody's singing (Stop the war, now) now, now, now (Don't put it off) another day All we got to do is, Lord Give peace a chance Don't, don't throw another life away Casualties pile up each day Cemeteries are overflowing Leaders of the world (?) But the death list keeps right on growin' And what does a mother get in return For the life of the son she's lost? A few measly pennies a month A medal, a babe, and a doggone cost (Stop the war now) Good God, hear me say (Don't put it off) another day Everybody sing (Stop the war, now) now, now, now (Don't put it off) another day Why can't we just (Give peace a chance) Please Don't throw another life away Can't you see? Enough blood has been shed by the wounded and the dead Enough blood has been shed by the wounded and the dead Ow Enough blood has been shed by the wounded and the dead Ow Listen (Stop the war, now) Good God, everybody (Don't put it off) another day (Stop the war, now) now, now, now (Don't put it off) another day This is a message to the leaders of the world (Give peace a chance) Aww
