The Onion Song |
The world is just a great big onion |
&pain &fear are the spices that make you cry |
Oh, &the only way to get rid of this great big onion |
Is to plant love seeds until it dies, uh huh |
Hey world! |
We got a great big job to do |
Yeah, we need you |
&everybody who loves truth |
Don’t you know we’ve got to clean up this place |
&reach far high &oh yeah |
Yes we do |
We gotta be headstrong about rightin' the wrong |
&make a mountain of happy souls, oh; |
Oh |
The world is just a great big onion |
&I don’t care, it’s the face people like to wear |
Yes it is now |
&the only way to get rid of this great big onion |
Every one single soul’s got to do their share |
Tell about it, baby! |
So come on, let’s knock on every door |
Tell them love is the answer |
Whether they’re rich or poor, oh yeah |
For we don’t care what you do |
How you look, or your status claim, baby |
No no, because brothers &sisters |
From now on, is gonna be everyone’s name, oh oh |
The world is just a great big onion |
&pain &fear are the spices that make you cry |
Yes it is |
&the only way to get rid of this great big onion |
Is to plant love seeds |
Now everybody, got to plant love seeds |
Come on &plant love seeds |
Until it dies |
The world is just a great big onion |
