World Peace Party

[Verse 1] If there was a world peace party Would the warheads get a plus one too All the borders drawn in concrete All the lies we painted blue All the trouble and the conflict they incited Spinning maps like roulette wheels Every headline sounds recycled Every promise never feels real [Chorus] World peace party Are they on the list Shake cold hands In a photo op kiss Stop the aggression End this deep recession Promise the people A future that’s peaceful and bright (so bright) World peace party Tonight Tonight [Verse 2] Silver suits around a long glass table Trading futures Talking “costs” Counting bodies like they’re numbers Every soul a hidden loss Flags on fire in a neon window Kids online learn how to fight While the old men sign another offer Selling off another slice of light [Chorus] World peace party Are they on the list Shake cold hands In a photo op kiss Stop the aggression End this deep recession Promise the people A future that’s peaceful and bright (so bright) World peace party Tonight Tonight [Bridge] Who gets invited Who gets denied Who writes the guest list Who picks a side If every tongue swears It’s “for your good” Why does every promise Taste like blood [Chorus] World peace party Are we on the list Raise bare hands In a clenched-fist twist Stop the aggression End this deep recession Promise the people A future that’s peaceful and bright (so bright) World peace party Tonight Tonight (hey!) World peace party Choose the light Choose the light
