Take the tape off your fingers and wave 'em up high in the air   So there's no one left to stare   Cause once we all get together and form an every so blinding glare   We can take away the scare      I mean the fear we have inside   From the wars they fight in the name or our lies   See the dangers of our time   Are more than fueled by their egocentric pride      How can they kill another country linked to less thank peaceful ties   It seems that something's not quite right   But if you let go of your reason and just listen to their lies   It'll make sense in due time      That the peace of which they speak   Is not much compared to the havoc it'll reek    But if over their lives truth seeps   Maybe the future of our world won't be so bleak      Peace is what we want   To save the ones who hate and ones who love   It's time release the doves   I'm sick of seeing hawks disguised    And perching on their glove      But it's not just overseas    At home we've people on their knees   Begging daily for their feed      Take the tape of your fingers and wave 'em up high in the air   So there's no one left to stare    And if someone should ask and I mean really dare   Just why you're standing there      Take a break on your side   Even if you wanna punch the bastard in the eye   And pause, show the sign   They can tape up your fingers but not your mind      Take the tape off your fingers and wave 'em up high in the air
