Lyrics

Well, we're droppin' our bombs In the southern hemisphere And people are starving That live right here And they're tearing down walls In the name of peace And they're killing each other In the Middle East But love and happiness Have forgotten our names And there's no value left In love and happiness They raise the price of oil Then they censor our mouths If you're a young couple today Forget buying a house And we wage our wars In the neighborhoods And we kill the young to feed the old And man, that ain't no good But love and happiness Have forgotten our names And there's no value left In love and happiness So, if you sell arms Or you run dope You got respect And you got hope But the rest of us die On your battle fields With wounds that fester and bleed But never heal Yeah and love and happiness Have forgotten our names And there's no value left In love and happiness (yeah) And love and happiness Yeah, love and happiness Have forgotten our names And there's no value left In love and happiness (oh, yeah) A little love and happiness (oh, yeah) Love and happiness (oh, yeah) A little love and happiness (oh, yeah)
