Peaceful World

John mellencamp---peaceful world

Written by john mellencamp



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



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



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



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
