This society is driving me mad
Too much anxiety makes me feels mad
I'm telling you, world, what I'm searching for
What I want is peace for now and evermore

But you're wrecking the Earth
You're messing your minds
Can you tell me "What is it worth?"
How can we live if there's no time?

What gives this country the right
To make its people go out and fight
All wars are useless; It's peace we need
But our hearts of filled with too much greed

But you're wrecking the Earth
You're messing your minds
Can you tell me "What is it worth?"
How can we live if there's no time?

And in the end there will be no war
No fear by man for his life
Every house will have an open door
And there will be no more strife

But you're wrecking the Earth
You're messing your minds
Can you tell me "What is it worth?"
How can we live if there's no time?

But you're wrecking the Earth
You're messing your minds
Can you tell me "What is it worth?"
How can we live if there's no time?
