Matthew Ryan - I Want Peace lyrics

There are villains in high places There are villains in the dirt There are heroes in the silence There is wisdom where you hurt I took a drag and made it beauty I took a beauty and made her beg When I pushed too hard I relented And I said that I was only pulling your leg 'Cause I want peace Yeah, I want peace For you And for me For you and me I wouldn't say that I'm a pacifist I wouldn't say I'm going rogue But this soap star's the worst kind of weapon Throwing bombs like they were ropes You know the facts are being murdered By the din of politics And in the ways that we avoid each other While the big clock ticks There's a violence in doing nothing As if the plot could be ignored Just because you've picked your poison Doesn't mean the wolf's not at your door I get no thrill from bringing bad news I'd much rather make you smile But I refuse to be a pa**enger As we smile, and swallow up the miles 'Cause I want peace Yeah, I want peace 'Cause I want peace Yeah, I want peace For you And for me For you and me
