(spoken)
what do we want?
peace!
when do we want it?
now!
what do we want?
peace!
when do we want it?
now!
peace! now!
peace! now!
peace! now!

[chorus]
what do we want?
peace, not sorrow
when do we want it?
now, not tomorrow
what do we want?
peace, not sorrow
when do we want it?
now, not tomorrow

[verse 1]
boise’s biggest, boise’s best
the place to dine, the place to rest
three hundred rooms, a banquet hall
convention center, but not for all
so
[chorus]
what do wе want?
peace, not sorrow
when do wе want it?
now, not tomorrow
what do we want?
peace, not sorrow
when do we want it?
now, not tomorrow

[verse 2]
one day in august, in seventy+one
businessmen met, businessmen’s fun
westmoreland was their honored guest
for soaring profits, he’s the best
the wine they sipped, the general’s brand
turns into blood on foreign lands
so

[chorus]
what do we want?
peace, not sorrow
when do we want it?
now, not tomorrow
what do we want?
peace, not sorrow
when do we want it?
now, not tomorrow
[verse 3]
from mountain home, forty miles or more
said we won’t fight your f+cking war
the guests were simply horrified
with the chants, not genocide
l+shaped pool, governor’s room
tinted water, westmoreland’s tune
so

[chorus]
what do we want?
peace, not sorrow
when do we want it?
now, not tomorrow
what do we want?
peace, not sorrow
when do we want it?
now, not tomorrow

[verse 4]
they came to seize the criminal
we pointed to the general
take him before others die
he was in charge at johnson’s my lai
so
[chorus]
what do we want?
peace, not sorrow
when do we want it?
now, not tomorrow
what do we want?
peace, not sorrow
when do we want it?
now, not tomorrow

[verse 5]
they came with chains to end the song
but chains could never right the wrong
nor jail cells change their stand
while children die in other lands
so

[chorus]
what do we want?
peace, not sorrow
when do we want it?
now, not tomorrow
what do we want?
peace, not sorrow
when do we want it?
now, not tomorrow

[verse 6]
brother did you obstruct police?
sister did you disturb the peace?
mothers, fathers, sons and daughters
we defend the peace and disturb the order

[instrumental]

[verse 7]
they came to wish each other luck
there is no crime to pursue the buck
swine did not bother those who dine
instead they took the rodeway nine

[chorus]
what do we want?
peace, not sorrow
when do we want it?
now, not tomorrow
what do we want?
peace, not sorrow
when do we want it?
now, not tomorrow

[instrumental]

[verse 8]
rita, carolyn, marla and penny
we are many
peyton, tom, mike, mark and joe
we will grow
so

[chorus]
what do we want?
peace, not sorrow
when do we want it?
now, not tomorrow
what do we want?
peace, not sorrow
when do we want it?
now, not tomorrow
