One Word (peace) Lyrics - Behind The Levee - Subdudes

A man stands on the corner holding a sign 

People yell at him as they drive by 

I wonder what they read, made them so upset 

I looked at the sign and all it said: 

One word: Peace 

In the Neighborhood, Peace 

One Word: Peace 

In my own backyard, Peace 

A man in a foreign land kneels to pray 

And wonders where the bombs will fall today 

Our leaders tell me to fear him you see 

Love conquers all is what I believe 

One word: Peace 

In the neighborhood, Peace 

One word: Peace 

In My Own backyard, Peace 

Everybody's talking about it 

Everybody's got to have their say 

But to achieve it, there is only one way 

And it starts with me and the word and the word is: 

Peace 

In the neighborhood 

One word: Peace 

In My Own backyard 

Peace 

One Word 

[Lead break] 

One word: Peace 

In the neighborhood, Peace 

One word: Peace 

In My Own backyard, Peace
