I don't want to sing about anger and hate
I don't want to sing about fear and defeat
I don't want to sing about the things I always sing about
I wish I could sing about love
I don't want to sing about war and greed
I don't want to sing about those we can't feed
I don't want to sing about the things I always sing about
I wish I could sing about love
I don't want to sing about suffering and pain
I don't want to sing for another campaign
I don't want to sing about the things I always sing about
I wish I could sing about love
I don't want to sing about rights and wrongs
I don't want to sing all the same old songs
But I'll sing them, and sing them, ‘til there's no need to sing them
And then I can sing about love.
