911 For Peace lyrics

Artist  : Anti Flag 
Song : 911 For Peace



 Send "911 For Peace" Ringtone to your Cell 

 It's in the paper every day
You see it in the headlines and you feel so sick
As another life leaves this world - this world so
full of hate - but short!
Short on compassion, short on humanity
Asking myself in vain, shaken by the shockí¡
"Do we even have a chance?"


I don't want to die
I don't want to kill
I don't want to kill
I don't want to die
We are all human
It's time to prove it


This is a plea for peace (world peace)
To the oppressors of the world (and toí¡)
To the leaders of nations,
Corporate profit takers,
To the every day citizen
Greed, envy, fear, hate- the competition has to
stop!
When you see someone down - now is the time to
pick `em up
Set our difference aside and never look back!


I don't want to die
I don't want to kill
I don't want to kill
I don't want to die
We are all human
It's time to prove it


Isn't everybody tired of the fighting?
Isn't everybody tired of the killing?
Isn't everybody tired of the dying?
Isn't everybody tired of the hatred?
Violence?
Fighting?
Killing?
Dying?


*Excerpts from "I Have a Dream" by Dr.
Martin Luther King


I don't want to die
I don't want to kill
I don't want to kill
I don't want to die
We are all human
It's time to prove it
