[Verse 1]
Love is all the world, you say the world is gone
Love is all the world, you say it's gone, I don't
The party in your eyes says someone to caress
A party in the sky, I think I'll wear a dress

[Chorus]
God save us all and tell us how it ends
Laugh 'til we fall, so why can't we be friends?

[Verse 2]
Mother taught me what to do in chaotic times
Work and play all day until the sun resigns
Haley and the Comets sang an old rock jam
The ukulele played another song or prayer

[Chorus]
God save us all and tell us how it ends
Laugh 'til we fall, so why can't we be friends?

[Post-Chorus]
Stole a lot from Peter 'cause you to had to pay your Paul
And when you find that's not enough, he'll break your fall

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Some get on and some get off the carousel
I think it's time to go, so I will fare thee well

[Chorus]
God save us all and tell us how it ends
Laugh 'til we fall, so why can't we be friends?

[Post-Chorus]
Stole a lot from Peter 'cause you to had to pay your Paul
And when you find that's not enough, he'll break your fall
