Now everybody's looking for a little peace of mind We're a generation running out of time There's a bomb, there's a man There's a gun in his hand yeah Nobody smiles at strangers we're scared from birth Afraid the man's gonna take us for all that we're worth Strip us of our pride Make a strike from inside Come on and tell me How long will we be victims of fear With a man and a gun and the day after fear Jesus smile down upon your children Smile down upon your family
Even lovers have trouble at hand What's your preference where do you stand You get all uptight about it Wanna fight about it Wanna fight about love No no no Wanting independence separate but equal A lover here another there One more for the sequel to the heartache How much more can we take Won't you tell me How long will we be victims of fear With a man and a gun and the day after fear Jesus smile down upon your children Smile down upon your family
Now I'm talking about Altruism and unification We forgotten what that means Cynicism in this mighty nation And hatred is spitting us right at the seams
Oh but I still believe that good will prevail And if we don't ever try It's damn sure that we'll fail Lose another day The american way So come all believers Come all races Start looking at the souls Not at the faces And we're there And we're learning to care I want to know baby How long will we be victims of fear With a man and a gun and the day after fear Jesus smile down upon your children Smile down upon your family Jesus smile down upon your children Smile down upon your family
