Rich Man, Poor Man (Peace)

[Intro]
Oh… yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, oh…

[Verse 1]
Rich man up on the hill
Poor man can't afford to pay his bills
Baby starvin' from hunger
Lord, it's time for a change to come

[Pre-Chorus 1]
We all have to stop (yeah) kidding ourselves (sure enough)
One day we'll look around (uh-huh), won't be nobody left
Love is what we need (yeah), right away (yeah)
If we expect to see a better day (better day)

[Chorus]
Oh, peace is our only salvation
Let's bring love and joy to our nation
Peace – only salvation
Let's bring love and joy to our nation, to our nation

[Verse 2]
Jobs are still hard to find
Late notices right on time
Abortion is on the rise
Before they're born, they seem to die

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Where is our next (sure enough) generation coming from?
Who's gonna be left (yeah) to get the job done?
So let's lay down our arms (yeah), our arms of war (yeah)
And open our arms, arms of love, arms of love

[Chorus]
Oh, peace is our only salvation
Let's bring love and joy to our nation
Oh, peace – only salvation
Let's bring love and joy to our nation, to our nation, oh…

[Bridge]
(Peace is our only salvation)
Remember all the shootin' dope in the veins
(Let's bring love and joy to our nation)
Remember all the pain and the hunger
(Peace is our only salvation)
We're talkin' about peace
(Let's bring love and joy to our nation, peace!)
Yeah, we're talkin' about peace

[Outro]
We need peace in our nation
Peace and love is our only salvation
We need peace in our nation
Peace and love is our only salvation
We need peace in our nation (before they're born, they die)
Peace and love is our only salvation (oh…)
We need peace in our nation (one day you'll look around)
Peace and love is our only salvation
(It'd be all like a damn ghost town) [?]
We need peace in our nation (and you can't bring no one there)
Peace and love is our only salvation (we gotta have love)
We need peace in our nation (peace and love!)
Peace and love is our only salvation (thinkin' about peace)
We need peace in our nation (we're thinkin' about peace)
Peace and love is our only salvation
(Hey, we're thinkin' about peace, thinkin' about peace and love)
We need peace in our nation (thinkin' about peace and love)
Peace and love is our only salvation
We need peace in our nation (we gotta love one another)
Peace and love is our only salvation
(We gotta treat each other like brothers)
We need peace in our nation (all this racial hate and pain)
Peace and love is our only salvation
(It's a doggone, doggone, dirty, dirty, dirty shame…)
