You, you’ve blown it all sky high
Our love had wings to fly
We could have touched the sky
You’ve blown it all sky high
He knows of their fear in the forthcoming fight
Soon there’ll be blood and many will die
Mothers and fathers back home they will cry
Sky pilot…sky pilot
How high can you fly
You’ll never, never, never reach the sky
If you feel that it’s real, I’m on trial
And I’m here, yeah, in your prison
Like a coin in your mint
I am dented and I’m spent with high treason
Through a glass eye, your throne
Is the one danger zone
Take me to the pilot for control
Take me to the pilot of your soul
If you feel like china breaking
If you feel like laughing
Break china laughing
Break china laughing, laughing, laughing
Ridi, pagliaccio, sul tuo amore infranto
E ridi del duol che t’avvelena il cor!
Oh, I’ve been used (ooh-ooh)
I’ve been a fool, oh, what a fool
I broke all the rules, oh yeah
But I must let the show go on
But what a fool believes, he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
Than nothing at all
I’m not tryin’ to be your hero
‘Cause that zero is too cold for me (Brr)
I’m not tryin’ to be your highness
‘Cause that minus is too low to see, yeah
Nothin’ from nothin’ leaves nothin’
And I’m not stuffin’, believe you me
Don’t you remember I told ya
I’m a soldier in the war on poverty, yeah
Wake up, everybody, no more sleeping in bed
No more backward thinking, time for thinking ahead
The world has changed so very much from what it used to be
There’s so much hatred, war, and poverty, whoa, oh
Everybody talks about a new world in the morning
New world in the morning, so they say
Well, I, myself don’t talk about a new world in the morning
A new world in the morning, that’s today
Ev’rybody’s talking about
John and Yoko, Timmy Leary, Rosemary
Tommy Smothers, Bobby Dylan, Tommy Cooper
Derek Taylor, Norman Mailer
Alan Ginsberg, Hare Krishna
Hare, Hare Krishna
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance
If there’s a new way, I’ll be the first in line
But it better work this time
Can you put a price on peace?
Peace, peace sells
Peace, peace sells!
Peace sells, but who’s buyin’?
Peace sells, but who’s buyin’?
Peace sells, but who’s buyin’?
Peace sells, but who’s buyin’?
I’ll buy you a diamond ring, my friend
If it makes you feel alright
I’ll get you anything, my friend
If it makes you feel alright
'Cause I don’t care too much for money
Money can’t buy me love
Hey everybody, have you heard?
He’s gonna buy me a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird won’t sing
He’s gonna buy me a diamond ring
Listen to the mockingbird
Listen to the mockingbird
The mockingbird is singing where she lays
You tell me that you’ve got everything you want
And your bird can sing, but you don’t get me
You don’t get me
The love you see in my eyes
Is just a reflection of your own
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
No matter how you play
No matter how you woo
You won’t get me
Because you don’t get me
At all
You don’t own me
Don’t try to change me in any way
You don’t own me
Don’t tie me down 'cause I’d never stay
You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
Ooh, tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Get that big, big, big, big, big, big, daddy out of doors
Tie your mother down - yeah
Tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight
