I can't rest in war
Will you be my friend?
Dark ages never change
Well, I can't comprehendKiss me, we self destruct
Can you hear me, Lord?
Yes, I think we're fucked
But I can't rest in warRighteous and the wicked
Are the war and peaceThe righteous and the wicked
War and peace
The killing fist of the human beast
P.O.P., prodigies of peace
Hear me when I'm calling you
From my kneesI am playing for a better day
Playing for a better day, anyway
Oh yeah, I'm playing for a better dayHoly Mother Earth
Crying into space
Tears on her pretty face
I thought she had been rapedKilling your future blood
Fill her with disease
Global abortion pleas
That is what she needsRighteous and the wicked
Are the war and peaceThe righteous and the wicked
War and peace
The killing fist of the human beast
P.O.P., prodigies of peace
Hear me when I'm calling you
From my kneesAnd I am playing for a better day
Oh yeah, playing for a better day
AnywayAre we fire flies
Flashing in the night?
Big thunder rumble fish
But did you get it right?Headstrong 'bout this song
Exploding souls, be gone
Marvin Gaye, my love
Where did we go wrong?Righteous and the wicked
Are the war and peaceThe righteous and the wicked
War and peace
The killing fist of the human beast
P.O.P., prodigies of peace
Hear me when I'm calling you
From my kneesWell, I am playing for a better day
