Beat the Clock - General of Peace

Put down that gun if you please
There's so much smoke now I can hardly see
P.E.A.C.E. ain't no profanity
So don't think there's something wrong with me
The men with the funds
The men on the top
They pass out the guns
They call the shots
They say "strap on your mask and get your ass in the heat"
But they're not around when there are bullets to meet
Now Jesus Christ and Martin Luther King
Are not around to see us through this thing
But if they were alive today
I think you know what they'd say
We need a General of Peace
To plan our strategy
We need a General of Peace
More smoke is not what we need
P.E.A.C.E. that's what we really need
P.E.A.C.E. a General of Peace
They show it all on TV
Except the casualties
In this democracy
They choose what we all should see
The men with the funds
The men on the top
They pass out the guns
They call the shots
They say "strap on your mask and get your ass in the heat"
But they're not around when there are bullets to meet
Now Jesus Christ and Martin Luther King
Are not around to see us through this thing
But if they were alive today
I think you know what they'd say
We need a General of Peace
We need a General of Peace
Solving problems with guns
Means you're killing someone
That's no solution to me
More smoke is not what we need
We need someone who can see
We need a General of Peace
Solving problems with guns
Means you're killing someone
That's no solution to me
More smoke is not what we need
We need someone who can see
We need a General of Peace
Solving problems with guns
Means you're killing someone
That's no solution to me
More smoke is not what we need
We need someone who can see
We need a General of Peace
