There's too many on the sidewalk, too many on the street
Far too many out in the cold without a thing to eat
Too many sleeping under bridges, too many sick on the floor
Far too many in the gutter, too many knocking at the door
Too many with no future, too many with a tragic past
Too many living in the shadows, too many fading, fading fast
I just want some peace of mind, that's all I'm asking for
But there ain't no peace in a world at war
There's too many under pressure, too many people bearing scars
Too many wearing handcuffs, far too many behind bars
There's too many hiding out, too many all alone
Too many people wearing armour, too many callous people made of stone
Too many riding roughshod, too many frightened people on the run
There's too many holding too much power, too many holding none
I just want some peace of mind, that's all I'm asking for
But there ain't no peace in a world at war
There's too many on the sidewalk, too many on the street
Dying in the cold without a thing to eat
Sleeping under bridges, barfing on the floor
Rolled in the gutters, too many people kicking down your door
I just want some peace of mind, that's all I'm asking for
But there ain't no peace in a world at war
Far too many out in the cold without a thing to eat
Too many sleeping under bridges, too many sick on the floor
Far too many in the gutter, too many knocking at the door
Too many with no future, too many with a tragic past
Too many living in the shadows, too many fading, fading fast
I just want some peace of mind, that's all I'm asking for
But there ain't no peace in a world at war
There's too many under pressure, too many people bearing scars
Too many wearing handcuffs, far too many behind bars
There's too many hiding out, too many all alone
Too many people wearing armour, too many callous people made of stone
Too many riding roughshod, too many frightened people on the run
There's too many holding too much power, too many holding none
I just want some peace of mind, that's all I'm asking for
But there ain't no peace in a world at war
There's too many on the sidewalk, too many on the street
Dying in the cold without a thing to eat
Sleeping under bridges, barfing on the floor
Rolled in the gutters, too many people kicking down your door
I just want some peace of mind, that's all I'm asking for
But there ain't no peace in a world at war
