Lyrics
Regardless of the company you keep
Shining in the dark, alarms are starting to beep
Instead of all the hatred that we seek
Can we be happy now?
With who we’re going to be
Don’t you wanna just feel love?
Aren’t you sick of fighting all the time
Don’t you wanna just feel loved ?
Don’t you find a resting place for your mind ?
Is there a world of love and hope and peace
Where we can leave behind our corporate greed
A world where everybody can achieve
Be the person that there supposed to be
Don’t you wanna just feel love?
Aren’t you sick of fighting all the time
Don’t you wanna just feel loved ?
Don’t you find a resting place for your mind ?
Swap the context for a sound bite
And now we wonder why the world has turned upside down
And the fears that keep you up at night
Got me fleeing to this one horse town
Don’t you wanna just feel love?
Aren’t you sick of fighting all the time
Don’t you wanna just feel loved ?
Don’t you find a resting place for your mind ?
