lyrics

CHORUS:
I don’t want to live in Lebanon.
I don’t want to live in Beirut.
I don’t want to live in a free-fire zone.
Underneath the government’s boot.
I want to live in a world of peace.
Greed makes freedom a lie.
I don’t want to live in a free fire zone —
Let’s give space a try.

In L.A. the people are rioting,
Riots in Chicago too.
So many people that are looking for work,
So many homeless too.
All around the world there’s a chance for peace,
So many people have died.
I don’t want to live in a free fire zone –
Let’s give space a try.

I can see a world where we all can be
Living together in harmony
It may be near and it may be far,
Beneath a distant star.

Don’t judge a person by the name of their god.
Too much war and strife.
Don’t judge a person by the money they make
Or how they’re living their life.
Don’t judge a person by the color of his skin
Too many people have died.
I don’t want to live in a free fire zone —
Let’s give space a try.

CHORUS II:
Will L.A. be the next Lebanon?
Chicago be the next Beirut?
Will San Francisco be the next Tiananmen Square
Crushed beneath the government’s boot?
I don’t want to live in a world of greed
Greed makes freedom a lie.
I don’t want to live in a free fire zone
Let’s give space a try.
I don’t want to live in a free fire zone
Let’s give space a try.
