Lyrics Something to See - Tracy Chapman

Something to See

No war, no greed
That would be something to see
I hope I live that long
No blood in the streets
Just a distant memory
The history books recount
Now we’re all free
Now we’re all free
No war, no greed
That would be something to see
I hope I live that long
No want, no need
The struggle to end poverty
Finally has been won
Now we’re all free
Now we’re all free
No war, no greed
That would be something to see
I hope I live that long
Hold my constitution
And have the courage of heart and mind
To right what is wrong
Now we’re all free
Now we’re all free
But now you can’t believe
What you’re told
You can’t believe what you hear
The speeches of the politicians
Ring untrue and insincere
You can’t believe what you read
You can’t believe what’s said
They count the targets and the bombs
But do not count the dead
They do not count the dead
No war, no greed
That would be something to see
I hope I live that long
Not lose my faith
In every word on the page
In the face of freedom
No war, no greed
No war, no greed
No war, no greed
