lyrics

"Peace, Love, Equality, Justice"

Boom, boom, boom,
Boom go the guns, go the bombs
Boom, boom, boom,
Go our feet in the pavement when we run
Lives of black,
And lives of blue,
Broken glass,
And blazing ruins

So, what do we need?
Peace, Love, Equality, Justice
And there’s no sleep until
There’s
Peace, Love, Equality, Justice

“Please, please, please”
“Please,” was his plea from the street
“Please, please, please! I can’t breathe from under your knee.”
“Please, please, please” fell silently
In crowded woods
Like a screaming tree

So, what do we need?
Peace, Love, Equality, Justice
And there’s no sleep until
There’s
Peace, Love, Equality, Justice

A mother’s wordless, wailing weep,
Billows from a well of grief so deep,
“You can’t bring my boy back,”
I know, I know, but I sing this song for your son-

Peace, Love, Equality, Justice
We can’t sleep
Until there’s Peace, Love, Equality, Justice
And we can’t breathe
Until there’s Peace, Love, Equality, Justice
And no one’s free
Until there’s Peace, Love, Equality, Justice

Justice...
