What Ever Happened To Peace On Earth
There's so many things going on in the world
Babies dying
Mothers crying
How much oil is one human life worth
And what ever happened to peace on earth

We believe everything that they tell us
They're gonna' kill us
So we gotta' kill them first
But I remember a commandment
Thou shall not kill
How much is that soldier's life worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

(Bridge)
And the bewildered herd is still believing
Everything we've been told from our birth
Hell they won't lie to me
Not on my own damn TV
But how much is a liar's word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

So I guess it's just
Do unto others before they do it to you
Let's just kill em' all and let God sort em' out
Is this what God wants us to do

(Repeat Bridge)
And the bewildered herd is still believing
Everything we've been told from our birth
Hell they won't lie to me
Not on my own damn TV
But how much is a liar's word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

Now you probably won't hear this on your radio
Probably not on your local TV
But if there's a time, and if you're ever so inclined
You can always hear it from me
How much is one picker's word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

But don't confuse caring for weakness
You can't put that label on me
The truth is my weapon of mass protection
And I believe truth sets you free

(Bridge)
And the bewildered herd is still believing
Everything we've been told from our birth
Hell they won't lie to me
Not on my own damn TV
But how much is a liar's word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

Lucky people who will be there...I'll be watching from Dennis' site.

..

He's mostly known for being Dave Matthews' sometime-partner, mostly on tour, although lately he appears on Dave's "Some Devil" album. Timmy is such an influential electric guitarist.

I was so impressed with Timmy when he appeared with Dave Matthews on Saturday Night Life this past season. Tim wore a handmade "Kucinich '04" shirt that just had me squealing in delight.

GO BUCKEYE POLITICIANS... and GO TIM REYNOLDS!!!

You are exactly right about that. One of my sons gave me "Some Devil" for Christmas with an extra CD of Dave and Tim. I loved his Kucinich shirt.

I now have a new sig line!!!

DK and Willie: :yourock:

Can't wait to hear the lyrics put to music!

I wish I had thought of that. Great sig line!

Then when we all post, we'll get it all in there. :D

I must be really sleepy. OK, I did. Never had a sig line before so I hope I did this right.

on edit didn't work I will have to work on this tomorrow

I found out even if you copy the whole stanza, the space in your profile creation area will only allow you to paste one line at a time.

So just copy and paste one line at a time. Kind of a pain, but worth it. :-)

I am afraid it is all going to be in one string though. I'll probably have to deal with it tomorrow. Fingers crossed. THANKS Zomby.

Tomorrow I can tell you how to center them and change the color if you like. :-)

I just took a piece of it. It took me 20 minutes of playing to get it right, but I think it works, don't you?

would that be a cool paty or what?!!
:party:

Willie, Dennis & MUSIC!!!

Don't tempt me!

Perspective - you can't get it at the dime store.

A whole lot.

I wonder if Debby Davies is for Kucinich too, lots of musicians for Dennis!

Congressman Kucinich shows both his strength and courage by throwing such a bash in President Bush’s backyard. Congratulations - wish I could be there.
