10000 YEARS (PEACE IS NOW) As recorded by Live (From the 1991 Album MENTAL JEWELRY) Tune down 1/2 step [Intro]        [Verse 1] The world is burning down Can’t you smell the smoke in the air? War disease and famine This demon she is everywhere   Poets and preachers and politicians They’ve all had their say And we got ten thousand years devoted to nothing But tomorrow and yesterday Ten thousand years Woah woah [Pre-Chorus] If all of the ignorance in the world Passed a second ago What would you say? And who would you obey? I am here to say that [Chorus] Peace is now Peace is now Peace is now Peace is now                  [Interlude]       [Verse 2] Mr. President I hereby pardon you of all your crimes For they are just as much mine           For selfishness and separation have led me to believe That the world is not my problem   The world is not my problem I am the world And you are the world And I    yes I am the world And you are the world         [Pre-Chorus] If all of the ignorance in the world Passed a second ago What would you say? And who would you obey? I am here to say that [Chorus] Peace is now Peace is now Peace is now Peace must be now    [Outro]
