Peace Song
Peace
Song is an Emily Saliers composition, probably written in
1985, as it appears on Blue
Food. If you're interested in a more
definite terminus
post
quem, it makes reference to the TV movie
The
Day
After. So, all you gotta do is find out when THAT was, and
you've got a nice TPQ. Anybody who knows, let me in on it...
Peace Song.
Now, everybody's looking for a little peace of mind
We're a generation running out of time
There's a bomb, there's a man, there's a gun in his hand, yeah
Well, nobody smiles at strangers, we're scared from birth
Afraid the man's gonna take us for all that we're worth
Strip us of our pride - make a strike from inside
(Come on and tell me)
How long will we be victims of fear
With a man and a gun and the day
after fear
Jesus, smile down upon your children
Smile down upon your family
Now, even lovers have trouble at hand
What's your preference - where do you stand?
You get uptight about it, gonna fight about it
Gonna fight about love - that makes no sense to me
Wanting independence, separate but equal
Some are here, and others there
One more for the sequel to the heartache
How much more can we take?
(Won't you tell me)
How long will we be victims of fear
With a man and a gun and the day
after fear
Jesus, smile down upon your children
Smile down upon your family...
