Peace and Love, Homie

Hey, we're going to the station
But I gotta warn you this is no vacation
We're out here to find peace of mind
A piece of time to rewind and remind
Reality is heavy but we're strong
We'll stand against the wrong
At the forum we'll post a bill of every lie
And hold them there until we ask why
Everything is corroding at the foundation
When we're the wealthiest nation
But there is a history of misery 
And it's not a mystery given their trickery
While the rich steadily get richer
I may not have aim but I'll play the pitcher
Throwing curve balls and facts
Fending off mass media attacks
Your legacy is dead soldiers on foreign land
For oil buried deep in the sand
Our economy is made of paper
And as that paper burns I see the caper
But all the money in the world is fool's gold
Compared to empathy and compassion if you behold
A better world of united people bettering each other
Holding hands with our sisters and brothers
There's still time for you to do the right thing
And perhaps that is when we can all sing
Homie, it's all about peace and love
It's all about peace and love
