Verse 1
Give me a piece, a piece of peace
And I’ll shake your hand
Give me a piece, a piece of peace
And I’ll be your friend.
Verse 2
But give me a piece, a piece of war
And I’ll ask what it’s for
Give me a piece, a piece of war
Then you won’t see me no more.
Chorus
‘Cos harmony, unity
Is what we need, it’s what we need
Harmony, unity
Don’t want our blood to bleed.
Bridge
War, war, what is it for?
Greed, greed, for what we don’t need
War, war, don’t want anymore
All we want is peace.
Verse 3
Takes two to fight and if both do
It still isn’t right
You’re just one, need more for war
That’s not what I’m living for.
Bridge 2
Don’t roll your cuffs, don’t draw your gun
Nothing’s won once war’s begun
Your fighting for, fighting for more
But after all…
What’s left is nothing more
Than before the war began…
It’s not worth fighting for.
Chorus
‘Cos harmony, unity
Is what we need, it’s what we need
Harmony, unity
Don’t want our blood to bleed.
