JOHN MELLENCAMP - Love & Happiness lyrics

rate me

Well we´re dropping our bombs<br>In the southern hemisphere<br>And people are starving<br>That live right here<br>And they´re tearing down walls<br>In the name of peace<br>And they´re killing each other<br>In the middle east<br><br>Chorus:<br>But love and happiness<br>Have forgotten our names<br>And there´s no value left<br>In love and happiness<br><br>They raise the price of oil<br>And they censor our mouths<br>If you are a young couple today<br>Forget buying a house<br>And we wage our wars<br>In the neighbourhoods<br>We kill the young to feed the old<br>And men that ain´t no good<br><br>Chorus:<br>Yeah, but love and happiness<br>Have forgotten our names<br>And there´s no value left<br>In love and happiness<br><br>So if you sell arms<br>Or if you run dope<br>You got respect<br>And you got hope<br>But the rest of us die<br>On your battle fields<br>With wounds that fester and bleed<br>But never heal<br><br>Chorus:<br>Yeah love and happiness<br>Have forgotten our names<br>And there´s no value left<br>In love and happiness<br><br>And love and happiness<br>Yeah love and happiness<br>Have forgotten our names<br>And there´s no value left<br>In love and happiness
