New Kicks

Peace now, peace now
Peace now, peace now

We are gathered here, we come from so many different places
From different identities, different cultures
Different backgrounds, different religions
And yet we can gather, under the guides of
Peace now, peace now

We say no to war! (Peace up, war down!)
We say no to war! (Peace up, war down!)
We say no to war! (Peace up, war down!)
We say no to war! (Peace up, war down!)

We made it, we're here
We're here right now and we're not leaving

Now I hear you, I hear you people
Now I hear you, I hear you people
Now I feel you, I feel you people
Now I feel you, I feel you people

"Now, we have more reports that more and more people
Are just taking on ramps on the bridge and are taking it over"
(It's just, I mean, I just, ahh!)

This is what democracy looks like!
This is what democracy sounds like!
This is what democracy looks like!
This is what democracy sounds like!

"Reports from protests from among Georgia and Amsterdam
Fort Lebanon, East Seymour, Florence, Italy, London, Milano, Italy
Paris, France, and dozens of cities in Spain, reports in Athens, Georgia
And Austin, Texas, Blacksburg, Virginia, Charleston, South Carolina
Colorado Springs, and Defiance, Ohio, Denver, Colorado as well as Durango
Geneva, New York, and Houston, Texas, Cianis, Massachussetts
In Hawaii as well, Lawrence, Kansas, uh, Los Angeles, California
And I am only naming a few"

Peace now, peace now

And as Eleanor Roosevelt said
"It isn't enough to talk about peace, one must believe in it
It isn't enough to believe in it, one must work at it"
And we here, today, are working at it

"This is possible, and even necessary
So drop the sword, pick up the hammer and the saw
And let's build a better world"

No blood for oil!
We will not be silent!
No blood for oil!
We will not be silent!
No blood for oil!

"We will not go to war
For a selected president
Who wasn't even elected"

We must stand unwoke and abound and unchained
We need healthcare, we need education
We need freedom in this nation, freedom in this nation
Freedom in this nation, freedom in this nation

"Thousands of people have taken over 3rd Avenue
And are marching North
The crowd stretches at least 15 blocks from 44th street to 59th Street
The police have just simply given up"

This is what democracy looks like!
This is what democracy sounds like!
This is what democracy looks like!
This is what democracy sounds like!

"We will not sell out, we will not back down
We will not compromise, we will go forward
Until peace is on the world's agenda!"

I started to feel that there were no more heroes in the world
But today, I see all the world's heroes standing before me

We say no to war! (No war!)
We say no to war! (No war!)
We say no to war! (No war!)
