[VERSE]
There’s a boneyard of dreamers right up that road -
Cashed in their pennies for the wrong motherload -
Everyone’s hopin’ for some quick relief -
They’d buy anything for an ounce of peace…
[BREAK]
[VERSE]
This world’s a hammer pounding down rusty nails -
Wealthy and weary lost on two different trails -
Everyone’s slipping in life's lonely grease -
They’d do anyone for an ounce of peace…
[CHORUS]
Some souls are chasing silver,
Some go for gold;
Somebody’s bein’ born,
Somebody’s gettin’ old;
From womb to tomb,
Each masterpiece;
Is livin’ day to day,
For an ounce of peace.
[VERSE]
Millions of shadows lookin’ for their lucky stars -
Scarecrows are on their knees in dark smokey bars -
Everyone’s dyin’ for some quick release -
They’d go anywhere for an ounce of peace…
[CHORUS]
Some souls are chasing silver,
Some go for gold;
Somebody’s bein’ born,
Somebody’s gettin’ old;
From womb to tomb,
Each masterpiece;
Is livin’ day to day,
For an ounce of peace.
[BREAK]
[BRIDGE]
The air is dirty,
The water’s gone;
Bloody handshakes made on,
Dark boulevards;
Each start will finish,
Each breath will cease;
Tired of lookin’ for,
An ounce of peace…
[VERSE]
Streetlights are burning off some golden girl's skin -
No one will ever know everywhere she’s been -
Her young soul’s cryin’ but nobody sees -
She'd work anytime for an ounce of peace…
[CHORUS]
Some souls are chasing silver,
Some go for gold;
Somebody’s bein’ born,
Somebody’s gettin’ old;
From womb to tomb,
Each masterpiece;
Is livin’ day to day,
For an ounce of peace.
[OUTRO]
Somebody's bein' born
Somebody's gettin' old...
