They say that Bush could be my president
But really ini don't care
They say cheney makes my decisions
But he don't, so I'm just not there
And I'm gonna see the same lies
Coming in the next 4 years
So pardon me if I don't cry when
Your election goes the way it did

I need some peace in a time of war
Some peace in a time of political war

They say that we elect our leaders
To lead forward and make decision
But I never heard their policy on war
Discussed during an election
And it seem that war is something over which
People have no prevention
But the people want it anyway and
So they elect some destruction

I need some peace in a time of war
Some peace in a time of political war

Haile I selassie I, Jah, hey
Rastafari, hey
Only truth 'round here over creation
Haile I selassie I
Haile I selassie I, Jah, oh, yeah
Rastafari, hey
Only truth 'round here over creation

Land of the free, and
Foreign bullets never touch our pavement
It seem to me, people know not
The extent of their involvement
Things are not as they seem
Underneath the beast is not clean
But we support the leaders who use
Media to make them seem so clean
