I hear it in the air (Civil War, Civl War)
I feel it in the air (Civil War, Civl War)
Who’s your neighbor, who’s your friend? (Civil War, Civl War)
Ahh there’s hate all around

I dont care about your fucking politics (Civil War, Civl War)
I don’t wanna hear about your politics (Civil War, Civl War)
Well, he said boo (Civil War, Civl War)
She said hooray

Now we are human beings right here
Human beings
We’re here together

Come on

Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when it falls on you?

You’re scaring the kids
The beautiful kids
Ah yeah they wanna know
The children wanna know
Is the ugly coming, and the guns?
Is the army coming, blotting out the sun?
The blood red sun, the blood red sun
Ahhhhhhh concentration camps?

(Peace and Love)

My blood runs cold
I’m feeling hate all around
It’s no solution
It’s never been a solution

Come on
Are you with me?

We all know what it is

Build a bridge
Shine a light

Make something beautiful
I don’t care if it’s a little scrap of squiggly crayon on a paper
Make something beautiful and see somebody
Give it to somebody

I’m not being corny this shit is real

Live for peace
Live for love

It’s all we got

See the god in everyone
See the god

Come on with me

Everyone just wants to be loved
See the god in everyone
Everyone leaves out no-one
And everything besides love is cowardice
You wanna be brave, you wanna be tough?
Peace and love is the toughest hardest thing you can do

Build a bridge that’s where the courage is
Build a bridge that’s where the courage is

Shine your light
Shine it true

Yeah
