Left At London - Give Peace A Break lyrics

The pacifist admitted to abusing both his wives, But, hey, he dressed like Jesus, so it's fine. As long as his good image is a marketable thing, We'll still be singing "Lucy in the sky" The news is so depressing, Why make history depressing? After all, John Lennon wrote some catchy songs It's all just for the better If we say we can't be better Because "better" might imply that we were wrong The pacifist's apartheid had been silenced by the scribe, He spoke a bit like Jesus, so who cares? Besides, would he be likable without his catchy quotes? He'd be a racist pervert who's in need of hair The news is so depressing, Why make history depressing? After all, Mahatma Gandhi went on strike It's all just for the better If we say we can't be better Because "better" hints we weren't already liked While a black man gets stitched up with both hands still in cuffs while another queer 16-year-old has died while a girl gets called a who*e on her way to therapy, We'll thank god humans have some good inside After all I shared the hell out of Kony 2012 I had given an old homeless guy a buck I poured ice on my head, but didn't donate sh** And if I didn't do these, I'd be f**ed. Otherwise, all humankind would probably s** much more cuz The news is so depressing, Why make history depressing? I'll take all the inspiration I can get It's all just for the better If we say we can't be better Because "better" might imply we don't forget If he doesn't look like Jesus, But he looks a bit like Jesus, All of Jesus' requirements have been met (Man, do you remember when Saturday Night Live used to be good? Like... we used to have Kristin Wiig, we used to have Bill Hader, we used to have Keenan from Nickelodeon, it was awesome I loved it, and all of a sudden, it just... changed. I mean... I like some of the new cast members, but it's just not what it used to be, man. It's not what it used to be.)
