Bomb the World

Michael Franti And Spearhead

Please, tell me the reason
Behind the colors that you fly
Love just one nation
And the whole world, we divide

You won't say, you're sorry
There is no other choice
God bless the people now
Who cannot raise their voice

We can chase down all our enemies
Bring them to their knees
We can bomb the world to pieces
But we can't bomb it into peace

Whoa, we may even find a solution
To hunger and disease
We can bomb the world to pieces
But we can't bomb it into peace

Violence brings one thing
More more of the same
Military madness
The smell of flesh and burning pain

So I sing out to the masses
Stand up if you're still sane
To all of us gone crazy
I sing this one refrain

We can chase down all our enemies
Bring them to their knees
We can bomb the world to pieces
But we can't bomb it into peace

Whoa, we may even find a solution
To hunger and disease
We can bomb the world to pieces
But we can't bomb it into peace

And I sing power to the peaceful
Love to the peaceful why?all
Power to the peaceful
Love to the peaceful why?all

We may even find a solution
To hunger and disease
We can bomb the world to pieces
But we can't bomb it into peace

Say we can chase down all our enemies
We can even bring them to their knees
We can bomb the world into pieces
But we can't bomb it into peace

And I sing power to the peaceful
Love to the peaceful why?all
I sing power to the peaceful
Love to the peaceful why?all
I sing

    "We could bomb the world to pieces, but we can't bomb it into peace." That line is fucking brilliant.

    I LOVE THIS SONG, PERIOD. Every word of every line and every guitar strum and drum line is so amazing, I can't get over it. This song, and "Oh My God" were the two songs that got me hooked.

    Actually stealing one would be fine, but steal it from your local best buy, not your local independent record store!! If you do steal one make sure you support michael franti and spearhead by buying their merch or checking them out on tour!! Steal from the corporations not the artists!!
