Back in the 60's, it was during Vietnam
I remember brother Marvin saying, "What's going on?"
War is not the answer I distinctly heard him say
Yet the same old, same old happening today
Gotta say I'm grateful to the USA
And all the folks protecting us everyday
But love's the only way to get hate to go away
And that's why so many people are saying
Make love (make love) not war (make love, not war)
What in the world is all the fighting for?
Give peace (give peace), a chance (Give peace a chance)
The earth could use an evolutionary advance
Governments everywhere pay no heed
To the lack of opportunities for people in need
Muslim and Hindu, Christian and Jew
Too many don't appreciate the other's point of view
You reap what you sow, that's the truth indeed
To raise a new crop, we gonna need a new seed
Swords in the ploughshares, instead of a fight
Spread a little love and that will shed a lot of light
Make love (make love) not war (make love, not war)
What in the world is all the fighting for?
Give peace (give peace), a chance (Give peace a chance)
The earth could use an evolutionary advance
The Kingdom of heaven still lies within
And the last time I checked, killing still was a sin
Don't let the devil and the demons have their way
It's time for the whole world to stand up and say
Make love (make love) not war (make love, not war)
What in the world is all the fighting for?
Give peace (give peace), a chance (Give peace a chance)
The earth could use an evolutionary advance
Make love (make love) not war (make love, not war)
What in the world is all the fighting for?
Give peace (give peace), a chance (Give peace a chance)
The earth could use an evolutionary advance
(Make love, make love, not war, not war)
(Give peace, give peace a chance)
(Make love, make love, not war, not war)
(Give peace, give peace a chance)
