[Intro - Verse 1]
Lay down, lay down
Lay your sweet lovely on the ground
Lay your love on the track
We're gonna break the monster's back
Ah ah eh eh

[Verse 2]
Lay down your treasure
Lay it down now brother
You don't have time
For a jealous lover

[Verse 3]
As you enter this life
I pray you depart
With a wrinkled face
And a brand new heart

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know if I can take it
I'm not easy on my knees
Here's my heart I'll let you break it
I need some release, release, release, release

[Chorus]
We need
Love and peace
Love, love and peace

[Verse 4]
Lay down
Lay down your guns
All your daughters of Zion
All your Abraham sons

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know if I can make it
I'm not easy on my knees
Here's my heart I'll let you break it
I need some release, release, release

[Chorus]
We need
Love and peace
Love and peace, uh huh

[Bridge]
Baby don't fight
We can talk this thing through
You have me, me and you
I'll call or you phone
The TV is still on
But the sound is turned down
And the troops on the ground
Are about to dig in
And I wonder

[Outro]
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Love and peace

Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?

U2

U2 is an Irish rock band from Dublin, which started in post-punk but soon incorporated elements from various musical genres (funk, electronica, blues). Composed of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr (drums and percussion), the band is noted for a sound built on melodic instrumentals, and lyrics, filled with spiritual imagery, personal themes and sociopolitical concerns. U2 sold more than 150 million records worldwide, and created some of the most lavish, memorable and profitable concert tours in history. Their success also helped the bandmembers advocate for human rights and philanthropic causes.
