IF I DIDN'T HAVE TWO EYES TO SEE

I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT A THING

WHEN I SEE MY PEOPLE SUFFERING

CENTRAL AMERICA BURNING IN WAR

MILLIONS OF PEOPLE LONGING FOR PEACE

WHY DON'T THEY LET US BE

WHEN IS THIS CONFLICT GOING TO CEASE



(Refrain)

THERE'S STILL TIME STOP THE CRIME

IT'S TIME TO GIVE MY PEOPLE A CHANCE



A NOBEL PRIZE A PLAN OF PEACE

TONS OF ARMS AN ARSENAL OF TEARS

WHY DON'T THEY LET US BE

GENERALS OF WRATH THE MICE AND THE CAT

SHOOTING MY PEOPLE IN THE HEART

WHEN IS THIS CONFLICT GOING TO CEASE



(refrain)

RIVERS OF COCAINE BRINGING PAIN

ALL THE WAY FROM COLOMBIA TO THE STATES

STRIKING COSTA RICA ON THEIR WAR

POLITICS AND SNOW HAND IN HAND

INDIANA FARMERS CORRUPTING THE LAND

WHY DON'T THEY GET OUT OF OUR WAY



(refrain
