Well, goodbye my friend it was good to know you
I hope you understand
Twenty-one years and I ain't got nothing
But I'm sitting here, wondering if I can
Wishing and dreaming, hoping and reaching
For things I was never meant to have
If my foolish life's a product of my gross misconceptions
Who's gonna give a damn?

I don't want
Peace on earth
I just wanna go
I just wanna go home

Well, I know I never was much more than you expected
I expect I won't disappoint
But my dreams were not as hollow as the empty world I saw though
I guess I never did get the point
Life cannot just be the only option left
The only thing you can count on in this world in regret

I don't want
Peace on earth
I just wanna go
I just wanna go home

Right world, wrong time
And they say to me, "Hang cool teddy bear"

Best thing to do is just feed them fear
Get them thinking about there
And forgetting about here
Don't try to fight, don't try to win
When they knock you down
You gotta get back up again

I don't wanna be an end
For someone else's dirty hand
To rape the desert of its sand
And pluck the fertile, virgin land
I don't wanna be
But I'm not so self-righteous to think that I
Would not take one hundred thousand lives
To see, ooh,  my mother's eyes
And trace that southern smile
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die
I don't want too much more than a working man deserves
Just a life worth living and a death worth dying for, oh

I don't want
Peace on earth
I don't want
Peace on earth
Oh, I so want
Peace on earth

And I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home

I just wanna go home
I just want to go home
I just want to go home

I don't want
Peace on earth
