Songs For Peace
On the long road to perfection
We've never lost direction
We find bigger and better and amazingly faster
Ways to live and die

In days of stone, the cavemen
Ate raw meat without sauce on
Then a genius found a flintstone
And fire was soon the fashion
For heating and cooking or even rebuking
People you couldn't rely on

On the long road to perfection
We've never lost direction
We find bigger and better and amazingly faster
Ways to live and die

But man can't be retarded
And stone was soon discarded
For as soon as metal was on the way
We knew that metal was here to stay
A sword of steel soon cuts up bones
So why waste energy throwing stones

On the long road to perfection
We've never lost direction
We find bigger and better and amazingly faster
Ways to live and die

The day of the savages drifted by
Towns and cities leap to the sky
We build factories all over the land
Machines saved muscles though they claimed some hands
And if at times our health declined
Production was faster so we didn't really mind

On the long road to perfection
We've never lost direction
We find bigger and better and amazingly faster
Ways to live and die

Communication by road and rail
Radio and air outdated the sail
Let's be faster, the inventors cried
But between ourselves communication died
And the things we made with all our skill
Included little gadgets that could kill, kill, kill

On the long road to perfection
We've never lost direction
We find bigger and better and amazingly faster
Ways to live and die

On the road to perfection we've reached the stage
Of nuclear power, the atomic age
We've reached the moon, and next is Mars
And we've found the way to end all wars
But for every forward step we make
We always seem to take two back

On the long road to perfection
We're not sure which direction
It's a long road to perfection
It's a long road to perfection
