Lyrics
Please hear me. Hear me
Please hear me. Hear me
Planet Earth, please hear me.
Som of Sam, listen man
This old world, we need a plan
(Why's everyone fighting?
War! War!)
Fight! War!
No-one wants no peace no more
Hear me. Hear me
Please hear me.
Please hear me. Hear me
Fight! War!
No-one wants no peace no more
Fight! War!
No-one understands peace no more
Please hear me. Hear me
Please hear me. Hear me
Scared to watch the news at night
Every night there's trouble and strife
No-one can hear me. Hear me
No-one hears me. Please hear me.
Well I get confused (so confused)
Sometimes used
We're all being abused
Read it in the news
Please hear me. Hear me
Please hear me. Hear me
Texan, Dixie, Texan, Dixie
Son of a poor man's hands
Please hear me. Hear me
Kashmir hear me. Hear me
Afghanistan hear me. Hear me
Northern Ireland hear me. Please hear me
Please hear me, Asia time
Please hear me, east of time
Please hear me, southern time
Please hear me, west of time
Please hear me, south-east of time
Please hear me, west of time
But someone hear me. Hear me
Oh, God hear me. Please hear me.
Everone wants war!
No-one understands peace no more
Happiness and loving homes
Let's rid the world of devil and guns
There's drugs galore, there's nuclear war
There's bullets and bombs
There's geeks and bums
Fight! War!
Don't no-one want no peace no more
Please hear me. Hear me
Hear me. Hear me
Please hear me, planet Earth.
Please hear me. Please hear me.
Please hear me. (interspersed with the Lord's
Prayer) Hear me
Oh God hear me. Hear me
Sort our lives out without a fight
Sort our lives out to be decent and right
Sort our lives out without a fight
(Amen) Please hear me.
