Power To The Peaceful Lyrics

Sons and daughters of a dream
the urge to struggle for an ideal
to stay and fight
oppose war fever
refuse to kill or be killed
there's voices calling in the wind and they sing
"POWER TO THE PEACEFUL"
with a readiness for war
they come down hard in dissent of all forms
blood and militarism has swept the country by storm
there's voices calling in the wind
"POWER TO THE PEACEFUL"
THIS IS NOT A WAR
of the urging people
THIS IS NOT A WAR
of economic independance
it is a war of conquest
its a war for military power
ITS A WAR FOR MONEY
THE ROAD TO UNIVERSAL SLAUGHTER
check this out
there's repression and intolerance
on any deviation from the norm
in all factions of your life
at this time of entry
into war say HEY-HEY
if you know what they sing say HEY-HEY
if you know what they sing say HEY-HEY
if you know what they sing say HEY-HEY-HEY
POWER TO THE PEACEFUL-WHOA-OH

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Isn't killing the killers a little hypocritical? Or am I just missing something?
