about

This song was recorded by Barry McGuire as the title song of his album, "Have You Heard". However, rather than calling it by its original title, "Where Is The Peace?", he changed the name to "There Is A Peace" (Sparrow Records, 1977). The song also appeared on his greatest hits album "The Best Of Barry McGuire" (Sparrow Records, 1980), and in the Sparrow songbook "Sparrow Collection II, 1977.

A woman, in her review of the song, wrote that 'The song scares my children'.

I'd like to hear the song covered by Marilyn Manson.

lyrics

Where is the Peace?
Denes McIntosh
 
World's gone insane
people blowin' out their brains
flyin' off of bridges
lyin' down in front of trains
shootin' dope to cope
with life cause they can't take it
getting drunk, life always stunk
it's more than what you make it.
 
Chorus:
and you ask "Where is the peace, the Prince of Peace,
Why can’t He ease our troubled minds?
He came unashamed to die for you and me
Now we must come to Him on bended knee.
 
Sedatives, take one
don't worry what you've done
you say "it was all in fun"
another mornings gonna come.
Expensive wine, refined
broken dreams that can't be mended
sleeping pills, no thrills
just a painless way to end it.
 
Chorus:
 
Meditation, mesmerized
enlightened to the times
nothing's wrong, nothing's right
relativity delight.
Guilt you say is built
upon a concept someone gave you
you choose to lose your conscience
thinking somehow that can save you.
 
Chorus:
