[Verse 1]
Now over there in Managua Square
With American made bombs falling everywhere
They kill women and children and animals too
These bombs are made by people like me and you

[Chorus 1]
And we're told that we hold
A big stick over them
But I know from what I've read
That peace is in our hands

[Verse 2]
Now over there in Guatemala my friend
We're making mistakes there once again
Uncle Sam supports a fascist regime
That doesn't represent the people over there

[Chorus 2]
And we learn and believe
There is justice for us all
And we lie to ourselves
With a big stick up our ass

[Bridge]
Now if we stand and yell it out
That war isn't what what we're all about
Then someone will hear and bring us back
To get the peace train back on its tracks
[Verse 3]
This is what I'm singin' about
The race war that America supports
Indians will never die
They'll do just fine if we let them try

[Chorus 3]
And I hold, we're never told
That peace is in our hands
If we stop there is time
To heal the scars we've caused

[Outro]
To heal the scars we've caused
To heal the scars we've caused
