"Peace On Earth" lyrics - MEAT LOAF

Well now
Goodbye my friend, it was good to know you
I hope you understand
Twenty-one years and I ain't got nothin'
But I'm sittin' here wonderin' if I can

Wishin' and dreamin', hopin' and reachin'
For things I was never meant to have
If my foolish life's a product of my gross misconceptions
Who's gonna give a damn?

I don't want
Peace on earth
I just wanna to go,
I just wanna to go home

Well I know I never was much more than you expected
So I expect I won't disappoint
But my dreams are not as hollow as the empty world I saw
Though I guess I never did get the point

Life can not just be the only option left
The only thing you can count on in this world is regret

I don't want
Peace on earth
I just wanna go
I just wanna go home

Right world wrong time
And they say to me,
"Hang cool teddy bear"

Best thing to do is just feed 'em fear
Get 'em thinking about there and forgetin' about here

Don't try to fight, don't try to win
When they knock you down
You gotta get back up again

I don't wanna be an end
To break this back and bleed these hands
To take my strength and all I am
To steal my soul for all your plans

I, I don't wanna be
But I'm not so self righteous to think that I
Would not take one hundred thousand lives

To see, oh, my mothers eyes
And trace that southern smile
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die

I don't want too much more than
A working man deserves
Just a life worth living
And a death worth dying for

Oh
I don't want
Peace on earth
I so want
Peace on earth
I don't want
Peace on earth
Oh I so want
Peace on earth

And I just wanna go home
I just want to go home
I just want to go home
I just want to go home
I just want to go home
I don't want
Peace on earth
