lyrics

Write a song of peace she said
I'd like to find one in my head
but sometimes there's just cobwebs and TV's
I'd write a song of love and loss
of deep regrets, dramatic costs
cause that's the way the muse has carried me

Oh I know there's peace in rock and roll
and oh, I know it's out of my control
and oh I know it terrifies my soul
it sometimes worries me

What would my great hero say
if he heard me carry on this way?
I just don't think he'd really give a damn
he used to sing of peace and love
and gave it all for god above
and now he plays the blues in holy lands

Oh I know there's peace in rock and roll
and oh, I know it's out of my control
and oh I know it terrifies my soul
it sometimes worries me

A song of peace, a protest song
a grand display of right and wrong
I've never been at comfort with those terms
I used to think in black and white
but greys have taken up my sight
I start to reconsider what I've learned

Oh I know there's peace in rock and roll
and oh, I know it's out of my control
and oh I know it terrifies my soul
it sometimes worries me
