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
