ANTI-FLAG - 911 FOR PEACE lyrics

rate me

It's in the paper every day

I see it in the headlines and I feel so sick, yeah

As another life leaves this world (this world) so full of hate

But short

Short on compassion

Short on humanity

Asking myself in vain, shaken by the shock,

"do we even have a chance?"

I don't wanna die

(I don't wanna kill)

I don't wanna kill

(I don't wanna die)

We are all human.

It's time to prove it.

This is a plea for peace (world peace)

To the oppressors of the world and to

To the leaders of nations, corporate profit takers,

to the everday citizen

Greed, envy, fear, hate-- the competition has to stop.

When you see someone down, now's the time to pick them up

Set your differences aside (never look back, no)

I don't wanna die

(I don't wanna kill)

I don't wanna kill

(I don't wanna die)

We are all human

It's time to prove it.

Isn't everybody tired of the fighting? (hey, hey)

Isn't everybody tired of the killing? (hey, hey)

Isn't everybody tired of the dying? (hey, hey)

Isn't everybody tired fo the hatred? (hey, hey)

Violence.. fighting... killing...dying.. aaaaaaah!!

(excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech)

I don't wanna die

(I don't wanna kill)

I don't wanna kill

(I don't wanna die)

We are all human

It's time to prove it.

We are all human

Let's start to prove it.

We are all human...
