"Pray For Peace" lyrics

I pray for peace
They require me to kick into high gear
We may as well have our Ph.D.'s
Might we compose
Was never taken into account

I pray they let out or talk it out
She would give me a wink across the room
I would've made a really good lawyer
I had a really good strategic way

Thank God it was the goddamned wall
We were the feminine forces
Who would calm my mother down?
Who would calm me down once I talked her through it?

My mother and I were the official peacemakers
It was a full-time job
I would send my mother directly to bed
Do not collect 200
We'd talk about it till 5 AM
When I'd visit her 5 years later

We would pray for peace
It was perfectly familiar and comfortable
