Written by: Tom Petty
We need peace in LA
What happened was wrong
We all feel betrayed
But we got to be strong
If the power that be
Let evil go free
You must understand
Don't play into their hand
(Chorus)
We need peace in LA
Peace in LA
Don't need beating and shooting
Don't need burning and looting
Tonight we all pray
That our children are safe
This hurt and frustration
There is a heart realization
But how can we help
If we steal from ourself
(Chorus)
Stay cool
Don't be a fool
Stay cool
Don't be a fool
Don't be a fool
