It's a tired old world that we're living in
Where the voice of reason is wearing thin
Got a beaten earth, got a hole in the sky
Got a whole lot of angry people crying
"I want an eye for an eye"

Compassion sunk without a trace
All trust is gone, have we lost our faith
Got a taste for hate, got a lot of guns
Got a whole lot of family values bitching
"Just blame it on the young"

chorus
And a little peace goes a long long way
It's peace we want, for peace we pray
A little peace goes a long long way
It's peace we want, for peace we pray
Ain't so crazy, John Lennon knew
That a little peace goes a long long way when you want it to

We crush the ones who don't agree
Whose lifestyles clash with you and me
Got our TV sets full of talking heads
Got a whole lot of people walking around
Like the night of the living dead



Our summer of love has come and gone
Us sixties kids are getting on
We had a dream way back then
No reason why we can't dream again

1. elton john has done more to help gays than everyone on DU combined lol nt

2. That's very true

I also doubt Rush would do a fraction of what Elton John has done to make the world a kinder place.

This is #3.

6. As many as I can find that are political

9. I was thoroughly pissed at Elton, but still love him.

7. While Elton has done more than most people in terms of rights,

walking with the devil (Rush) still should still be noted and criticized. I've lost some respect for him. Rush doesn't need to be legitimized nor his banality overlooked in any fashion, even for money for good causes. Epic fail for Elton IMO.

8. Why is he playing for Rush Limbaugh's birthday? Doesn't quite add up.
