In early 2003, Lenny Kravitz released the song "We Want Peace" as a protest against the 2003 invasion of Iraq, he performed this alongside famous Iraqi singer Kazem Al Saher at Rock The Vote. The track reached #1 on the world internet download charts and MP3.com download chart.
Here they are the lyrics:
Come on people
It's time to get together
It's time for the revolution
Here is once again in our face
Why haven't we learn from our past
We're at the crossroads of our human race
Why are we kicking our own ass
We want peace
We want it yes
We want peace
We want it yes
We want peace
And we want it fast (x2)
We're on the eve of destruction my friends
We are about to go to far
Politicians think that war is the way
But we know that love has the power
We want peace
We want it yes
We want peace
We want it yes
We want peace
And we want it fast (x2)
The solution is simple and fame
There won't be peace if we don't try
In a war there is nothing to gain
When so many people will die
We want peace
We want it yes
We want peace
We want it yes
We want peace
And we want it fast (x2)
