Peaceful World — текст песни (John Mellencamp)

Come on baby take a ride with me
I`m up from Indiana down to Tennessee
Everything is as cool as can be
In a peaceful world

People know this world is a wreck
We`re sick and tired of being politically correct
If I see through it now but I didn`t at first
The hypocrites made it worse and worse
Lookin` down their noses at what people say
These are just words and words are okay
It`s what you do and not what you say
If you`re not part of the future then get out of the way

Come on baby take a ride with me
I`m up from Indiana down to Tennessee
Everything is cool as can be
In a peaceful world

Racism lives in the U.S. today
Better get hip to what Martin Luther King had to say
I don`t want my kids being brought up this way
Hatred to each other is not okay
Well I`m not a preacher just a singer son
But I can see more work to be done
It`s what you do and not what you say
If you`re not part of the future then get out of the way

Come on baby take a ride with me
I`m up from Indiana down to Tennessee
Everything is cool as can be
In a peaceful world

The money`s good and the work is okay
Looks like everything is rollin our way
Til you gotta look the devil in the eye
You know that bastard`s one big lie
So be careful with your heart and what you love
Make sure that it was sent from above
It`s what you do and not what you say
If you`re not part of the future then get out of the way

Come on baby take a ride with me
I`m up from Indiana down to Tennessee
Everything is cool as can be
In a peaceful world

Lay back the top and ride with me
I`m up from Indiana down to Tennessee
Everything is cool as can be
In a peaceful world

Hey yeah
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
