[Verse 1] World of peace That's what I want So I fight the wrongs n try to make it right I see the hurt in the checkout line a mother counting coins like she counting time Kids with tired shoes men with hollow eyes and every promise made comes back dressed as lies [Pre-Chorus] I hear the crowd grow thin I hear the walls close in But I won't bow I won't fold now [Chorus] World of peace World of peace I fight the wrongs I make it right The lying eyes the lying eyes of the government won't dim my sight World of peace World of peace We keep the flame We keep it bright [Verse 2] The lying eyes of the government the trash that spills from their mouth they point north, then south when the whole block's going out They count our fear like it pays their rent while the clock on the wall runs down every cent But I know your name and you know mine we got more than rage we got common spine [Pre-Chorus] I hear the crowd grow thin I hear the walls close in But I won't bow I won't fold now [Chorus] World of peace World of peace I fight the wrongs I make it right The lying eyes the lying eyes of the government won't dim my sight World of peace World of peace We keep the flame We keep it bright [Bridge] If they sell us fear we buy none if they slam that door we become one Hands in the dirt feet on the ground from the ash and the ache we build something sound [Final Chorus] World of peace World of peace I fight the wrongs I make it right The lying eyes the lying eyes of the government won't dim my sight World of peace World of peace We keep the flame We keep it bright World of peace World of peace We fight the wrongs and make it right
