Peace Songtext
von Dave Alvin

You have made great planes to span the skies
You gave sight to the blind with other men′s eyes
You even made submarines stay submerged for weeks
But it don't make sense if you can′t make peace
You take one man's heart and make another man live
You even go to the moon and then you come back thrilled
And you can crush any country in a matter of weeks
But it don't make sense if you can′t make peace

You know it don′t make sense
You know it don't make sense
You know it don′t make sense
If you can't make peace


You can make the transfusion that can save a life
Then you can change the darkness in the broad daylight
You can make the deaf man hear and the dumb man speak
But it don′t make sense if you can't make peace
You know it don′t make sense

Yeah, it don't make sense
You know it don't make sense
If you can′t make peace

You can make money or you can make time
You can make a decision, you can make up your mind
You can make a wish, you can make believe
You can make excuses or you can make an apology
You can make love, you can make mistakes
You can make a promise or you can make a clean break
You can make an enemy or you can make a friend
Yeah, you can make trouble or you can make amends
Now you can make a killing or you can make a speech
But it don′t make sense if you can't make peace

Yeah, it don′t make sense
No, it don't make sense
If you can′t make peace
