lyrics

I want a peace and joy and a love seat.
That’s the place where we’ll meet.
‘Cause there is no place for joy
in America.

The bullies and the kings and the big chiefs,
Handing out all their grief.
They took all the joy and laughter
from America.

And those of us who shout about it,
Will be the ones who go without it,
Oh.

When you wanna wave some banners
out in the street,
And wish away the dark lord and his
big creeps.
The killers, thieves and schemers
who took away America.

Your words are rocks, your feelings
are the big fires.
The semi-automatic fascists,
big liars.
They think you’re the enemy
of America.

And those of us who care about it,
Will be the ones first shut outside it,
Oh.

I want a peace and joy and a love seat.
That’s the place where we’ll meet.
‘Cause there is no place for joy
in America.

Peace and joy and a love seat.
Peace and joy and a love seat.
Peace and joy and a love seat.
