Pub Music Savings Bank “to be useful to you” November 2020 – For What It’s Worth – Yes 3

And I know bitterness is never a solution
Cos deep in my soul I had a silent revolution
As a means to an end I may choose wealth
But love is truly an end in itself

And I see George hand in hand with the dragon
Loading contraband upon the same band wagon
Pinball machines have a sign say tilt

But in life it's difficult establishing guilt
So it won't be me to cast the first stone
Cos I've got far too many hang ups of my own
And further more if the truth be known
I want mercy when my cover gets blown

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I've got to beware

I think it's time we stop!
Children what's that sound
Everbody look what's going down

And it sure is quiet on the western front
A high, high, high priced media stunt
The tabloid headlines, they keep me feeling happy
Cos they're feeding me a slogan
That's punchy and snappy
And when I look inside I never get tense
Cos it tells me what I want to hear
Bout the world events
The “just war” is the latest trend
But let this good thing come to an end
And tell me a little more about your new world order
Does this mean your gonna open up your border?
Open up your heart, open up your mind,
Eradicate the poverty you left behind?
Open up your job to the last Mohican
Open up the hospital you closed last week?
And then, if so, you can open up your
Stock exchange in Moscow

Now there are 5 billion people more on this planet
The place cannot be totally without love can it?
The very first time in my life I stood still for a second
I found more pain than I previously reckoned
And it hurts and it hurts and it hurts like pain does
And I discovered that's OK because
There was a very good reason for the pain to be there
Pain is a way of reminding us we care!
The first time my soul came into focus
And my soul said “let the pain provoke us”
And I felt safe, and I felt warm inside
And I felt the waves of pain subside
And I saw then what I'd always been seeking
The light of love shining out like a beacon
And I stopped listening, looked around
And now I'm dancing to a whole new sound

I think it's time we stop!

Hold your fire, put down your weapon
You'll never get to heaven with an AK47

And I know bitterness is never a solution
Because deep in my soul I had a silent revolution
As a means to an end I can choose wealth
But love is truly an end in itself

And I see George hand in hand with the dragon
Loading contraband onto the same band wagon
Pinball machines have a Say Tilt sign

But in life, it's difficult to establish guilt
So it won't be me to throw the first stone
Because I have too many shortcuts
And even more if the truth is known
I want mercy when my cover is blown

Something is happening here
It's not exactly clear what it is
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me that I should be wary

I think it's time to stop!
Children, what is this sound
Everbody watch what happens

And it's really quiet on the western front
A high, high, high-price media stunt
Tabloid headlines, they make me feel happy
Because they feed me a slogan
It's punchy and catchy
And when I look inside, I'm never tense
Because it tells me what I want to hear
On world events
“Just War” is the latest trend
But let this good thing end
And tell me a little more about your new world order
Does this mean you will open your border?
Open your heart, open your mind,
Eradicate the poverty you left behind?
Open your work to the latest Mohican
Open the hospital you closed last week?
And then, if so, you can open your
Stock market in Moscow

Now there are 5 billion people and on this planet
The place can't be totally loveless, can it?
The very first time in my life I stood still for a second
I found more pain than I previously thought
And it hurt and it hurt and it hurt like pain does
And I found out it was OK because
There was a very good reason the pain was there
Pain is a way of reminding us that we care!
The first time my soul became focused
And my soul said “let the pain provoke us”
And I felt safe, and I felt warm inside
And I felt the waves of pain calm down
And then I saw what I had always been looking for
The light of love shines like a beacon
And I stopped, looked around me
And now I'm dancing to a whole new sound

I think it's time to stop!

Hold your fire, put down your weapon
You will never get to paradise with an AK47
