"10,000 Years (Peace Is Now)" lyrics
"10,000 Years (Peace Is Now)"
The world is burning down
Can't you smell the smoke in the air?
War, disease, and famine
This demon, she is everywhere
Poets and preachers and politicians
They've all had their say
And we got ten thousand years devoted to nothing
But tomorrow and yesterday
Ten thousand years
Whoa, whoa
If all of the ignorance in the world
Passed a second ago
What would you say?
And who would you obey?
I am here to say that
Peace is now
Peace is now
Peace is now
Peace is now
Mr. President, I hereby pardon you of all your crimes
For they are just as much mine
For selfishness and separation have led me to believe
That the world is not my problem
The world is not my problem
I am the world
And you are the world
And I, yes, I am the world
And you are the world
If all of the ignorance in the world
Passed a second ago
What would you say?
And who would you obey now?
I am here to say that
Peace is now
Peace is now
Peace is now
Peace must be now
Peace is now
Peace is now
Peace is now
Peace is now, yeah
Peace is now, la-la-la, yeah, yeah, yeah, la-la-la, yeah
Peace is now, la-la-la, yeah, yeah, ah
Peace is now
Peace is now
Peace is now
Peace is now

Urge Overkill - "Back On Me" When I take you down, I don't wanna take you down.
Don't ask why I never been there, cause I don't know, oh no
If I close my eyes, I don't wanna close my eyes,there are dreams of
phantom doorways...
Our Lady Peace - "Neon Crossing" All you people can feel it waiting
Innocence and love, wrapped in the arms
Of the burning neon
I feel it, I feel it
It's so entertaining and so wonderful
It magically calls for you
Big neon...
Goo Goo Dolls - "Lazy Eye" The world spins 'round the secret lives
Of everyone that needs to hide (yeah, hide)
A cheap parade of endless lies
Filters through this lazy eye
And I don't believe in signs
No, I don't believe...
Faith No More - "From Out Of Nowhere" Tossed into my mind
Stirring the calm
You splash me with beauty
And pull me down
'Cause you come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare
Obsession rules me
I'm yours from the start
I know...
Blues Traveler - "The Mountains Win Again" I pick up my smile put it in my pocket
Hold it for a while try not to have to drop it
Men are not to cry so how am I to stop it
Keep it all inside don't show how much she rocked ya
Ooh can you feel...
