The world is round, and we all suffer
The saddest sound, there is no buffer
From naked guns, to naked truths
But I will never stop livin' out my youth
We can work it out, we can make it right
We can do most anything if we think it's worth our time
We all want peace on earth, we all want piece of mind
No water to drink in the middle of the ocean, we'll get it right

Make love, not war before the world is over
Do your good before the world is over
Say your peace before the world is over
Make love, not war

We can work it out I never had no doubt
We'd do the right thing, do the right thing, do the right thing x2

Make love, not war

And maybe love, has had it's day
I only say this in the most affectionate way
‘ Cause we are always fighting, but you could never tell
that we pray to heaven ‘cause we fear this may be hell
We should all be happy, we should all be strong
We should do like Rodney King and all just get along
I'm citizen of planet earth, a guest to this one life
A futurist and fatalist all wrapped up in one

Make love, not war before the world is over
Do your good before the world is over
Say your peace before the world is over
Make love, not war

We can work it out I never had no doubt
We'd do the right thing, do the right thing, do the right thing x2

Make love, not war
