I don't want to sing about anger and hate, I don't want to sing about fear and defeat; I don't want to sing about the things I always sing about — I wish I could sing about love.
I don't want to sing about war and greed, I don't want to sing about those we can't feed; I don't want to sing about the things I always sing about, I wish I could sing about love.
I don't want to sing about suffering and pain, I don't want to sing for another campaign, I don't want to sing about the things I always sing about: I wish I could sing about love.
I don't want to sing about rights and wrongs, I don't want to sing all the same old songs; But I'll sing them, and sing them 'til there's no need to sing them — And then I can sing about love.
