MEGADETH
- Peace Sells Lyrics / with translationsWhat do you mean, "I don't believe in God?"
I talk to him every day
What do you mean, "I don't support your system?"
I go to court when I have to
And what do you mean, "I can't get to work on time?"
I got nothing better to do
What do you mean, "I don't pay my bills?"
What do you think I'm broke? Huh?
If there's a new way
I'll be the first in line
But it better work this time
What do you mean, "I hurt your feelings?"
I didn't know you had any feelings
What do you mean, "I ain't kind?"
Just not you're kind
What do you mean, "I couldn't be the President
United States of America?"
Tell me something...
It's still "'We the people, right?"
If there's a new way
I'll be the first in line
But it better work this time
Can you put a price on peace?
Peace, peace sells
Peace, peace sells
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
[Guitar Solo]
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
No...No, No, No, No, No!
Peace sells
Peace sells
I talk to him every day
What do you mean, "I don't support your system?"
I go to court when I have to
And what do you mean, "I can't get to work on time?"
I got nothing better to do
What do you mean, "I don't pay my bills?"
What do you think I'm broke? Huh?
If there's a new way
I'll be the first in line
But it better work this time
What do you mean, "I hurt your feelings?"
I didn't know you had any feelings
What do you mean, "I ain't kind?"
Just not you're kind
What do you mean, "I couldn't be the President
United States of America?"
Tell me something...
It's still "'We the people, right?"
I'll be the first in line
But it better work this time
Can you put a price on peace?
Peace, peace sells
Peace, peace sells
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
[Guitar Solo]
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
No...No, No, No, No, No!
