Barenaked Ladies The Peace Lady Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Growing up in Toronto
I'd ride with my parents wherever they'd go
She was always there above the DVP
Holding her peace sign for all to see

[Chorus]
The peace lady
The peace lady

[Verse 2]
Up by the highway where you pay your toll
By the rainbow where Peter found his pot of gold
I took my head to look out the window
She was holding her peace sign for those down below
And I just caught a glimpse
[Chorus]
Of the peace lady
The peacе lady
The peace lady
Thе peace lady

[Bridge 1]
Though I remember the cheer girl and the bike thief man
I vote for the peace lady whenever I can [Bridge 2]
So here's to you, Paulene, and Johnny Barbs too
It's a much better place thanks to people like you

[Verse 3]
She stood in the rain, the sun, and the cold
She stood on the bridge until she got old
And though she's long gone, I still look to see
She left a lasting impression on me

[Chorus]
She's the peace lady
The peace lady

[Outro]
Peace lady, peace lady, peace lady
Peace lady, peace lady, peace lady
Peace lady, peace lady, peace lady
Peace lady, peace lady, peace lady
Peace, peace, peace, peace
