- Well I just can't believe it, the hippy movement's dead,
Religious folk have grabbed the world got a bullet to its head,
And as for all the little kids who wanna learn in school,
Well they'll never read their ABC's now God's a Yankee fool,
Oh please please please, can't we please try peace?

The real problems started, 'fore most of us were born,
Mankind had the bright idea to make atomic dawn,
And when the smoke had cleared away well we were with the USA!
Somewhere we forgot to care, and now revenge is in the air,
Oh please please please, can't we please try peace?

Is this the new century coz God knows it isn't me,
Is this the way you hoped the world would be?
Holy war what a fucking bore, is that really all that we're here for
Well I'll tell you brother not me.

Look into the past my friends and you will surely see,
Nations rise and fall again they die like you and me,
We've had it good for far too long our empire's days are dead and gone!
Is this a democracy? We go to war but who asks me?
Oh please please please, can't we please try peace?

Oh is this the new century coz God knows it isn't me,
Is this the way you hoped the world would be?
Oh holy war what a fucking bore, is that really all that we're good for
Well I'll tell you sister not me!

La la la la la la la la la

Oh please please please, can't we please try
Peace peace peace, can't we peace try
Please please please, can't we please try peace? -
