Peaceful World - Lyrics by John Mellencamp


Lyrics
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
Come on baby take a ride with me
I'm up from indiana down to tennessee
Everything is cool as can be in a peaceful world
People know this world is a wreck
We're sick and tired of being politically correct
I see through it now but I didn't at first
The hipocrites made it worse and worse
Lookin down their noses at what people say
These are just words and words are okay
It's what you do and not what you say
If you're not part of the future then get out of the way
Come on baby take a ride with me
I'm up from indiana down to tennessee
Everything is cool as can be in a peaceful world
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
Racism lives in the u.s.a.
Get hip to what martin luther did have to say
I don't want my kids being brought up this way
Hatred to each other is not okay
Well I'm not a preacher just a singer son
I can see more work to be done
It's what you do and not what you say
If you're not part of the future then get out of the way
Come on baby take a ride with me
I'm up from indiana down to tennessee
Everything is cool as can be in a peaceful world
Lay back the top and ride with me
I'm up from indiana down to tennessee
Everything is cool as can be
In a peaceful world
The money's good and the work's ok
Looks like everything is rolling our way
Til you gotta look the devil in the eye
You know that bastard's one big lie
So be careful with your heart and what you love
Make sure that it was sent from above
It's what you do and not what you say
If you're not part of the future then get out of the way
Come on baby take a ride with me
I'm up from indiana down to tennessee
Everything is cool as can be in a peaceful world
Lay back the top and ride with me
I'm up from indiana down to tennessee
Everything is cool as can be
In a peaceful world
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
