We Create The Peace Force .

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Wake up children hear the morning sound

Marching feet on holy ground

I traded my rifle for a beaten guitar

Somewhere the sirens wail too far

Pre-Chorus

We plant our flags in the muddy clay

Watch the angry colors fade away

Chorus

Make love not war

That's the only law

Make love not war

We create the peace force

Post-Chorus

Come on

Come on now

Yeah

Come on

Verse 2

My brother came home with a stranger's scar

The preacher prays and the generals spar

So I built a choir from a broken town

Turned the sirens into a joyful sound

Pre-Chorus

We raise our hands to a burning sky

Ask the weary world to wonder why

Chorus

Make love not war

That's the only law

Make love not war

We create the peace force

Post-Chorus

Come on

Come on now

Yeah

Come on

Bridge

Plant flowers where the trenches ran

Lay a kiss on an angry man

We are the peace force

We are the peace force

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Make love not war

That's the only law

Make love not war

We create the peace force

Post-Chorus

Come on

Come on now

Verse 3

Come gather round the bonfire in the square

Bring your tambourines and let your long hair flare

The draft board shut its windows for the night

So we'll holler down the highway till the light

Pre-Chorus

Every hand that ever held a gun

Can learn to hold another hand for fun

Chorus

Make love not war

That's the only law

Make love not war

We create the peace force

Post-Chorus

Come on

Come on now

Yeah

Come on

Harmonica Solo

Verse 4

I met a girl with flowers in her hair

She said the whole wide world is in repair

We danced barefoot on the hood of my old car

And the police just sat and watched us from afar

Pre-Chorus

Let the man with all the medals understand

Peace is something that we build with our own hands

Chorus

Make love not war

That's the only law

Make love not war

We create the peace force

Post-Chorus

Come on

Come on now

Yeah

Come on

Verse 5

My mother wept when they read the evening news

My father drank away his old war blues

So I'm singing for the ones who never came

And I'm singing every soldier's mother's name

Pre-Chorus

We ain't marching to a bugle or a drum

We're just banging on the rooftops till it's done

Chorus

Make love not war

That's the only law

Make love not war

We create the peace force

Post-Chorus

Come on

Come on now

Yeah

Come on

Guitar Solo

Organ Break

Verse 6

Now the sun is coming up behind the mill

And the whole town's dancing on the windowsill

Some are crying and some are making plans

And the children draw a circle in the sand

Pre-Chorus

If they ask you what the peace force ever did

Tell them look into the eyes of any kid

Chorus

Make love not war

That's the only law

Make love not war

We create the peace force

Post-Chorus

Come on

Come on now

Yeah

Come on

Bridge 2

Burn the papers burn the flags that made us fight

Turn the searchlights into lanterns for the night

We are the peace force

We are the peace force
