911 For Peace

• Anti-Flag
• Mobilize

It’s in the paper every day

I see it in the headlines and I feel so sick, yeah

As another life leaves this world (this world) so full of hate

But short

Short on compassion

Short on humanity

Asking myself in vain, shaken by the shock,

“Do we even have a chance?”

I don’t wanna die

(I don’t wanna kill)

I don’t wanna kill

(I don’t wanna die)

We are all human.

Let’s start to prove it.

This is a plea for peace (world peace)

To the oppressors of the world and to,

To the leaders of nations, corporate profit takers,

to the everyday citizen

Greed, envy, fear, hate - the competition has to stop.

When you see someone down, now’s the time to pick them up

Set your differences aside and never look back, no

I don’t wanna die

(I don’t wanna kill)

I don’t wanna kill

(I don’t wanna die)

We are all human

It’s time to prove it.

Isn’t everybody tired of the fighting? (hey, hey)

Isn’t everybody tired of the killing? (hey, hey)

Isn’t everybody tired of the dying? (hey, hey)

Isn’t everybody tired of the hatred? (hey, hey)

Violence (hey, hey) fighting (hey) killing (hey) dying (hey) aaaaaaah!

(excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech:)

So even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow,

I still have a dream

we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children,

black men and white men

Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing

“Free at last, free at last.

Thank God Almighty, we are free at last.”

We are all human

It’s time to prove it.

We are all human
