Something to See by Tracy Chapman Lyrics
[Chorus]
No war, no greed
That would be something to see
I hope I live that long
[Verse 1]
No blood in the streets
Just a distant memory
The history books recount
[Pre-Chorus]
Now we're all free
Now we're all free
[Chorus]
No war, no greed
That would be something to see
I hope I live that long
[Verse 2]
No want, no need
The struggle to end poverty
Finally has been won
[Pre-Chorus]
Now we're all free
Now we're all free
[Chorus]
No war, no greed
That would be something to see
I hope I live that long
[Verse 3 ]
Hold my constitution
And have the courage of heart and mind
To right what is wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Now we're all free
Now we're all free
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
No war, no greed
That would be something to see
I hope I live that long
[Verse ]
Not lose my faith
In every word on the page
In the face of freedom
[Outro]
No war, no greed
No war, no greed
No war, no greed
Don't wanna lose my faith
In every word on the page
Don't wanna lose my faith
In every word on the page
No war, no greed
No war, no greed
No war, no greed
No war, no greed
That would be something to see
I hope I live that long
[Verse 1]
No blood in the streets
Just a distant memory
The history books recount
[Pre-Chorus]
Now we're all free
Now we're all free
[Chorus]
No war, no greed
That would be something to see
I hope I live that long
[Verse 2]
No want, no need
The struggle to end poverty
Finally has been won
[Pre-Chorus]
Now we're all free
Now we're all free
[Chorus]
No war, no greed
That would be something to see
I hope I live that long
[Verse 3 ]
Hold my constitution
And have the courage of heart and mind
To right what is wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Now we're all free
Now we're all free
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
No war, no greed
That would be something to see
I hope I live that long
[Verse ]
Not lose my faith
In every word on the page
In the face of freedom
[Outro]
No war, no greed
No war, no greed
No war, no greed
Don't wanna lose my faith
In every word on the page
Don't wanna lose my faith
In every word on the page
No war, no greed
No war, no greed
No war, no greed
