Strychnine / Peace, Love, and Understanding
[Part 1 - Strychnine]
[Intro]
For a second...
Run it again. Let's check this out...
[Verse]
Some folks like water
Some fuckers like wine
But I like the taste
Of straight strychnine
You may think it's funny
That I like this stuff
But once you've tried it
You can't get enough, wow
[Chorus]
Wine is red
Poison's blue
Strychnine is good
For what's ailin' you
[Break]
Strychnine
Strychnine
Strychnine
Strychine baby, yeah
[Chorus]
Blood is red
The sky is blue
Strychnine is good
For what's ailin'... you
[Part 2 - (What's So Funny 'bout) Peace, Love & Understanding]
Yeeeas!
[Verse 1]
As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity
I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and darkness, and misery?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
'Cause each time I feel I'm losing sight
'S one thing I wanna know
[Chorus]
What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding?
Woah
What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding? Yeah
Da, da, da, da, dada da, da, da, da
[Verse 2]
As I walk through
These troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony
[Pre-Chorus 2]
'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away
Just makes me wanna cry
[Chorus]
What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding?
Woah
What's so funny 'bout peace love and under... standing
AH
La la la, la la la la la la...
