Coulda been a lawyer a fireman
Engineer in cairo ambassador to japan
Instead im stretched here fire pit underneath
Steel strings bound my bod
this metal grill to my teeth
In 20 seconds can you scream
something for us
And in 6 seconds arrive at the chorus
Cue smoke flash lights
enter the fountain of youth
You can sell us anything but the truth
I am confused about give peace a chance
How much was music
how much makeup and dance
Peace is a product someone
plants in your head
Welcome to the state of music
population spoon fed
I entered the minefield armed
with something simple i wrote
But one of the three songs on radio
exploded down my throat
A little bit queasy from the shrapnel i ate
Would it be too much to ask
for a little soul on my plate
What an adorable artistic dream
Now everybody taste the machine
Industry's changed it's not our fault
Can i pass you the sensory assualt
I am confused about give peace a chance
How much was music
how much makeup and dance
Peace is a product someone
plants in your head
Welcome to the state of music
population spoon fed
Thank you dolores for inspiring me
Thank you to lisa for your pure melody
In awe of joni and the words she commands
Breathtaking fingerwork from both ani's hands
Tracy for run run run run running and hope
The irish goddess whose voice rivaled the pope
So how the hell to fill the asics on me
If i dont know who i am everyone will tell me
I am confused about give peace a chance
How much was music
how much makeup and dance
Peace is a product someone
plants in your head
Welcome to the state of music
