VERSE 1: Oh give us some peace--A Department of Peace
Where we study and seek a new way
Where we learn to relate
To the people we hate
And we stop making bombs every day.
Home, home for the land
Where land mines do not take a hand
Or a leg or a toe
Not a thing from us go
And we sign up with others to ban.
VERSE 2: Oh stop telling lies about CIA spies
And the reasons you took us to war
Iraq is not free
Let those poor people be
And bring our troops home now to stay
Home, soldiers come home
From the 800 places away
See in countries the good
And fix up our own 'hood
So they have an example today.
VERSE 3: The Grannies would like to see us unite
With the international court
Where tyrants must wait
For the cost of their hate
When the judges submit their report.
Home, home, we are home
The UN is here in our home
Let's all make a date
We'll decide to relate
And pay all the dues that we owe.
