Can you Hear Me - The Beat Generation

Scattershot thinking
without even blinking
Looking at insanity
Finding no plan in it
Why does it have no heart in it
Don’t want to be part of it
The power-seeking missiles
With their denial and dismissals
That resides right inside of us
They are hiding beside of us
If you hear me
sing it out
GIve Peace A Chance
If you hear me
Sing it out
Give Peace A Chance
Is there any question
To the many answers
or do we wait
And take our chances
The hour is late
and we must be moving
Unless we are resigned
to defeat and to losing
If you see a star reach for it
If you have a dream make it real
If you know who you are inside
That is something they can not steal
If you hear me
sing it out
Give Peace A Chance
Can you hear me
sing it out
Give Peace A Chance
