John and Sheila Ludgate - Songs of Peace and Love

Those songs of peace and love, just some foolish hippie dream
Cause we’re fighting in the streets now and fighting on our computer screens We tune into what we want to hear in this echo chamber land
Shut out what we don’t want to know, what we don’t want to try to understand

Those songs of peace and love, we used to sing them around here
But we’re all so much smarter now, traded hippie dreams for greed and fear Got the tough talk and walk, yeah it’s us or it’s them
We burn with what we never learn, so it just goes round and round and round again
…but

Chorus
Those songs of peace and love, they still echo in your mind
And they leave you a little sad when they echo in these troubled times “Where Do The Children Play”, “Who’ll Stop The Rain”
“Where Have All The Flowers Gone”, the questions they come round again And history repeats, the lessons never end, and the answer’s still blowing in the wind
…the answer’s still blowing in the wind

Those songs of peace and love they used to play on the radio A long time ago but they’re still playing in your soul
Those hate fueled fires are getting higher, the right and left are wagin’ war This land might be your land but you don’t recognize it anymore

Repeat Chorus
…the answer’s still blowing in the wind
