Lyrics
There’s a man from the Salvation Army on the corner just ringing his bell There’s a young girl of the night takin’ her john to a cheap motel There’s a bag lady walkin’ down the sidewalk with a hood pulled over her head And there’s a wino sleepin’ in a cardboard box for a bed And I know that somewhere all is merry and bright But won’t somebody please tell me why there’s no peace on earth tonight There’s a police detective at a crime scene eatin’ a hot dog from a vendor But he cannot find one single witness, ‘cause no one can remember Across the street there is a dealer talkin’ on his telephone Sellin’ drugs to a kid that just robed somebody’s home And I know that somewhere all is merry and bright But will somebody jus’ tell me why there’s no peace on earth tonight No children are a carolin’, there’s molesters everywhere I see porno and perversion but I don’t hear one single prayer God is sending us a warnin’ but we’re just too blind to see There’s a song of salvation playin’ but we cannot find the key And I know that somewhere all is merry and bright Oh, but won’t somebody please tell me why there’s no peace on earth tonight Our minds are confused, there’s so many that’s been abused Hearts, they are breakin’, not knowing what path to choose Our soldiers are dyin’ in a foreign land Loved ones are just cryin’ and trying to understand There’s got to be somewhere all is merry and bright Oh, but won’t somebody please jus’ tell me why there’s no peace on this earth tonight Won’t somebody, won’t somebody please tell me why there’s no peace on earth tonight
