I'm checking out the headlines, They say the human race is dying. Boys and girls are crying In a picture of their nations fighting The more I think about it, The harder it gets for me to find the things that Used to make me happy and I know it's all been said before but I need peace and I need love, I need all the things sent from above, I need chocolate cake and lemon pie, I need all the things that make me smile, I want rain, and I want sunshine, SongtexteI want all the things sent from the sky That put a smile upon my face, And make this world a better place When I'm feeling down, I think of Simple things that help me get by Power and religion Are holding hands against all reason, Soon the politicians Will be touching little boys with the pope's permission I never thought I'd cry From seeing people die for their own convictions I know it's all been said before But still you don't seem to stop the war I need peace and I need love, I need all the things sent from above, I need chocolate cake and lemon pie, I need all the things that make me smile, I want rain, and I want sunshine, I want all the things sent from the sky That put a smile upon my face, And make this world a better place I need the simple things that help me get by I give no name to those who claim The right to use our lives for power games Leaders and rulers I believe will soon shoot us If we don't stand and fight For our right to a better world And I know it's all been said before But still you don't seem to stop the war When it's all too much And I'm feeling low When it's all too much, I need simple things like peace And I need love I need all the things sent from above, I need chocolate cake and lemon pie, Oh no, no, no, **repeat I need peace and I need love, I need all the things sent from above, I need chocolate cake and lemon pie I need all the things that make me smile, I want rain, and I want sunshine, I want all the things sent from the sky That put a smile upon my face, And make this world a better place Aus Songtexte Mania
