Paul McCartney - People Want Peace Lyrics






Ladies and gentlemen, I'm standing before you
With something important to say
With some trepidation I crave your attention
But I'm not gonna let anything get my way

The message is simple, it's straight from my heart
And I know that you've heard it before
But what does it matter, we're in it together
And I'm not quitting while people are crying for more

People want peace
People want peace
A simple release from their suffering
People want peace

People want peace

Nothing in life is as sad as a lonely soul
Searching for peace
Only to find disappointment is waiting
Behind every door that we open
Every catch we release
A-brothers and sisters, I beg you to listen
I know that it isn't too late
For we are the people, the voices of freedom
And we're all perfectly clear
That we don't want to wait

People want peace
People want peace
A simple release from their suffering
People want peace

People want peace

People want peace
People want peace
Yes, we want peace!
People want peace
Yeah, yeah!
People want peace

Paul McCartney People Want Peace Comments
  1. D.... G....

    People want peace, but there will never be peace as long as the very rich elite who run international banking and military manufacturing make big money off of wars. There will never be peace as long as there is country that has resources that some other country wants and is willing to "create" a war to get them. We all know what countries are doing this using the military industrial complex.

    Paul has ben doing albums that, at first listen, May dissapoint a bit. After some listenings more you find more of The complexity of harmonies,arregements..and things seem to fit. To me the 70,s ,Early, and this last 4 albums, from Chaos...are the best periods of his long career

  24. J.... L....

    I can't be the only one who finds this so oddly familiar with Give Peace A Chance

  25. J.... L....

  30. V.... C....

    Thank you Paul for your infinite creativity throughout the decades and the joy you give us ! Keep sharing your inspiration with us.

  31. G.... D....

    Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww "strong"

  32. S.... S....

    Drummer feels the message. Timeless masterpiece. 🚂

    S.... S....

    G H That’s Paul on the drums.

  33. F.... S....

    que hare cuando ya no estes

  34. J.... W....

    IMO, this song is preachy and repetitive. This would be one I'd skip.

    J.... W....

    @Hanna CQFD You know nothing about me; please do not assume you do nor judge me. Good for you about your age; that has no relevance to my comment.

  35. D.... F....

    good songs except fuh you

  36. J.... K....

    Even McCartney's mediocre songs have great bass parts.

    J.... K....

    I mean, he is one of the greatest bass players of all time.

  37. n.... ....

    This album is a real grower ain't it?

  38. N.... ....

    Sounds like a 2018-version of "give peace a chance" 👍

  39. V.... 6....

    All we are saying that people want peace. Still carrying on the message. :)

  40. g.... ....

    No they don't. They want anything they can grab no matter what it does to other people. But McCartney never sing about the homeless and people who pass by and could not care less.. They don't go to his concerts. They can't afford it.

    g.... ....

    don't know about if he personally could care less but songs about what we don't like to think about doesn't bring in the bills.

  41. S.... F....

    People Want Peace , Yas man, Amen...

  42. c.... p....

    At this time Paul as a Lyric composer still have some gas, but he have not found the right direction for the melody , i believe the sculpture is there it just need to keep shaping up or working in the melody , like " with the little help of my friend" suddenly Joe Cooker made that song a great piece of art. with different arrangement.

  43. D.... G....

    I've always appreciated The "love peace' credo associated w the Beatles, unfaltering, I go out of my way to find peace , getting harder to find, not necessarily social, but just peace in general, so hard to get away from reality, i.e., traffic noise...etc, generally the necessary commerce, fewer green spaces. And when the cities reach their tether they're left there to rot away, Detroit, Youngstown...etc. Not pretty and not inspiring. give me a natural park anyday. But really, "Too many people" , oh yeah, too many people are already taxing resources that make it all happen. Wreck less breeding anyone?m

  44. P.... ....

    People want me

  45. k.... ....

    I've just heard album. I'm a fan but mixed feelings. At least in these troubled times we get another song of PEACE from Beatles. I think John would like it, so would George. Ringo still saying Love & Peace. Paul once sang proud to sing another silly love song. Here he is proud to sing another Peace Song. Most people fleeing for their lives around world since World War II. Families homeless or separated escaping tyrants, often to be met by other nations hate as evil far too accepted by the brainwashed. So the song that jumps out at me is Paul McCartney singing again as Beatles did, PEACE. KNOW not NO. PEOPLE WANT PEACE

  46. S.... A....

    As a diehard Beatle and McCartney fan, I'm sad to see how low Paul has sunk. Fuh You and People Want Peace both sound like detergent or cereal commercials, possibly because they both have the same cheerful, tinny sounding piano bits. There is zero soul in any of this stuff and catchy ditties are not enough.

    S.... A....

    We must be hearing different albums because this is the most soul and feelings I've heard from him in a while.

    S.... A....

    You have no soul and your ears need to be cleaned of the wax deep inside them.

    S.... A....

    newms69 How creative! Do you feel better now?

    S.... A....

    If only he could sound like the songs on your wonderful album, "Trolls on the Loose"

  47. M.... ....

    This whole album is a slow burner, but I begin to suspect that it may be one of the best Paul has ever made. I have not found a song I really don't like, and most keep getting better the more I hear them.

    M.... ....

    Exactly...just gets better and better every listen

    M.... ....

    This album is amazing

    M.... ....

    It's the same for me!@Michael Frazia

  48. R.... ....

    Catchy poppy Mc tune.

  49. J.... V....

    Didn’t grab me at first, but it has a great melody!

    J.... V....

    Jaime VilBar yes it does

    J.... V....

    Paul always writes great melodies but this whole album works brilliantly. If this doesn't get a grammy nomination I'm going to be very pissed off.

    J.... V....

    James Smithe exactly
    This album is bloody brilliant and 100% deserves everything

  50. P.... A....

    Ladies and gentlemen, I'm standing before you
    With something important to say
    With some trepidation I crave your attention
    But I'm not gonna let anything get my way

    The message is simple, it's straight from my heart
    And I know that you've heard it before
    But what does it matter, we're in it together
    And I'm not quitting while people are crying for more

    People want peace
    People want peace
    A simple release from their suffering
    People want peace

    People want peace

    Nothing in life is as sad as a lonely soul
    Searching for peace
    Only to find disappointment is waiting
    Behind every door that we open

    P.... A....

    THANK YOU. ~~ FOR SURE, Paul Austin ~~ "People Want Peace" ~~ And, SURE OF THAT, AS WELL.

    P.... A....

    Thanks Paul for uploading the lyrics

  51. N.... T....

    Not one of your best Billy

  52. H.... S....

    This is just pathetic. SNOOZEFEST

    H.... S....

    Back Trolling I see douche bag.

  53. N.... S....

    Fitting time for release 17 years ago from 9/11

  54. C.... W....

    Nothing got in Paul's way to make another classic Masterpiece !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations to the King of Music !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  55. m.... ....

    Would love to Hear MacCartney play this like a Busker in the street and Passers by Singing along..let's hope a True Multi Cultural World isn't Far Away..

    m.... ....

    mickydripping multiculturalism is bull shit

  56. E.... C....

    Oh mais il est excelent cet album
    un petit air de son instrumental SQUID

  57. T.... ....

    John could have wrote this

  58. M.... D....

    Think about the musical library Paul will leave behind has anyone even the great composers ever produced so much music in a life time ?

    M.... D....

    Bob Dylan has made at least twice as many studio albums and was still touring the USA and World last I saw him at Red Rocks 2016.

    M.... D....

    Dylan's voice is awful , and his stage show is weird, where he turns down the lights and moves to another part of the stage. Plus Dylan is nasty to the even staff, they are told do not even smile at Dylan.

    M.... D....

    The old masters Beethoven, Mozart, Bach and the like left behind huge libraries of music. That said I put the Beatles work and their solo work in the same class as the past masters.

  59. D.... L....

    Sounds a little like something from PIPES OF PEACE.

  60. J.... G....

    John Lennon would have liked this song.

    J.... G....

    He wouldn`t. It`s about nothing. And John obviously wouldn`t sing for Obama.

    J.... G....

    *GIVE PEACE A CHANCE*

    J.... G....

    He would have taken the piss out of him. He would have said something like: "Yes, Paul. I was thinking the exact same thing...50 years ago. Do you remember what you wanted back then? I DO – So does Yoko...Nice to see you're beginning to realize there's more to want in life than The Beatles. Who knows, maybe one day when the nostalgia tour ends your fans will catch on as well?"

  61. A.... ....

    wow i just noticed the beetle on the cover

  62. A.... W....

    Give Peace A Chance!

  63. O.... M....

    Tocando todo ..again And again And again And again And again.....

  64. O.... M....

    Peace......esa es la respuesta al mundo

  65. T.... T....

    The Beatle Code

  66. c.... ....

    Liking this!

  67. i.... g....

    this is so friccen good

  68. S.... G....

    Te amo Paul, saludos desde México. :)

    S.... G....

    Yo también te amo nena

  69. M.... G....

    I caught the getting better ending! 😉

    M.... G....

    man I was mean but I'm changing my scene and I'm doing the best that I can.
