If you change your mind
On a Thursday night
And your weekend's free
Take a chance on peace

If you think twice, look us up
And we'll be downtown
'Cause if hatred fills your cup
Turn it upside-down

If you think war's just
When you shoot a bird at us
We're already free
Take a chance on peace

If you think Iraq's a threat
Then you got no brain
We already cast our net
On Saddam Hussein

Take a chance on peace
St. Pete For Peace

Don't be a racist
Why you gotta fret so?
You're blaming 9/11
There's no basis
Even Bush has said so
There wasn't a connection

But if you've had enough
Of Condoleezza's guff
That's great
'Cause when you kick their ass
And then you take their gas
That's rape

No more Vietnams
St. Pete Food Not Bombs

If Iraqis die
From the George Bush lie
Then it's time to cease
Take a chance on peace

If our welcome don't still float
In democracies
Let 'em put it to a vote
Take a chance on peace

If a terrorist
Put St. Petersburg at risk
Leave it to police
Take a chance on peace

If they did their job at all
We could sleep at night
But they favor shopping malls
Over civil rights

Take a chance on peace
Lone Drummers For Peace

It's a fabrication
There were no weapons
It was all conjecture
Why the occupation
Just to strip 'em?
Who are we to lecture?

If you love America
It isn't very good
To hate
They love their children too
What are they supposed to do?
The same

No more Vietnams
Tampa Food Not Bombs

Bomb-bomb-bomb bomb bomb
Bomb-bomb-bomb bomb bomb
Bomb no one please
Take a chance on peace

And if W doesn't see
How it can be had
For an exit strategy
He can ask his dad

Let your free speech flow
Till the Supreme Court says no
For the Middle East
Take a chance on peace

If regime change worked so good
In Iraq today
Bring it to our neighborhood
In the USA
