discord between priest, imam and rabbi

it is hopeless to teach ideals of peace
when people only seek confrontation
cruelty and selfishness never cease
it is hopeless to teach ideals of peace
soldiers are a form of passive police
sent abroad to help create a new nation
it is hopeless to teach ideals of peace
when people only seek confrontation

when people only seek confrontation
everyone knows the truth, the others lie
brothers kill brothers, grief has lost caution
when people only seek confrontation
glorified death can hold little sanction
the world watches men die, and women cry
when people only seek confrontation
everyone knows the truth, the others lie

the world watches men die, their women cry
it is hopeless to teach ideals of peace
diplomatic tactics never apply
the world watches men die, their women cry
discord between priest, imam and rabbi
create only a festering disease
the world watches men die, their women cry
it is hopeless to teach ideals of peace
