Please lay down your pistols and your rifles   Please lay down your colours and your creeds   Please lay down your thoughts of being no-one   Concentrate on what you ought to be    Then lay down your bullshit and your protests   Then lay down your governments of greed   Take a look at what lies all around you   Then pray God we can live in peace       Everyone's a loner 'till he needs a helping hand   Everyone is everybody else   Everyone's a no-one 'till he wants to make a stand   God alone knows how we will survive       So please lay down your pistols and your rifles   Please lay down your colours and your creeds   Please lay down your thoughts of being no-one   Concentrate on what you ought to be       Everyone's a loner 'till he needs a helping hand   Everyone is everybody else   Everyone's a no-one 'till he wants to make a stand   God alone knows how we will survive
