The government tells me I should not be smoking
They put me in jail for a wee bit of tokin
My life should be whole, my world should be green
Yet they poison this land, it's all so obscene
But what about you and all of your warring
What about you and them bombs you are storing
What about you will you desist and cease
Will you lay down your arms, will you bring this world peace...
Saw the cops taser that man on TV
Take away his life and all he could be
Heard the bombs fall on a people unknown
Who never did no wrong and no weapon was found.
What about you and all of your warring
What about you and them bombs you are storing
What about you will you desist and cease
Will you lay down your arms, will you bring this world peace.
Watched the politicians like wild weeds they grow
Poison this land with fear and sorrow
Make laws that inhibit, and words that increase
The pain in your life while their pockets they grease..
But what about you and all of your warring
What about you and them bombs you are storing
What about you will you desist and cease
Will you lay down your arms, will you bring this world peace.
There once was this man - who rode the steel rails
Wrote a lot of songs told many tales
In a time long ago, when this world was still all our
This land was our land them moon, sun and stars.
What about you and all of your warring
What about you and them bombs you are storing
What about you will you desist and cease
Will you lay down your arms, will you bring this world peace..
Will you lay down your arms, will you bring this world peace…
Lay down your arms, bring this world peace…
They put me in jail for a wee bit of tokin
My life should be whole, my world should be green
Yet they poison this land, it's all so obscene
But what about you and all of your warring
What about you and them bombs you are storing
What about you will you desist and cease
Will you lay down your arms, will you bring this world peace...
Saw the cops taser that man on TV
Take away his life and all he could be
Heard the bombs fall on a people unknown
Who never did no wrong and no weapon was found.
What about you and all of your warring
What about you and them bombs you are storing
What about you will you desist and cease
Will you lay down your arms, will you bring this world peace.
Watched the politicians like wild weeds they grow

Make laws that inhibit, and words that increase

This land was our land them moon, sun and stars.
What about you and all of your warring
What about you and them bombs you are storing

Will you lay down your arms, will you bring this world peace..
Will you lay down your arms, will you bring this world peace…
Lay down your arms, bring this world peace…
