Extreme

Think the world
Can be Black, White, and Jew?
Peacemaker die
I'm Mister 'Righteous One'
You say you have this plan
If we kind of understand
Peacemaker die
I'm Mister 'Nice Guy'
You dare to speak the truth
Well, I'll twist and turn it into lies
Blessed are the warmongers
(Blessed are the warmongers)
Blessed are the warmongers
(Blessed are the warmongers)
They shall be called man made Gods
Peacemaker die

Do you really think the world
Can be Black, White, and Jew?
Peacemaker die
Mister music man
Don't turn your back on me
'Cause I'm the one with the gun
Blessed are the warmongers
(Blessed are the warmongers)
Blessed are the warmongers
(Blessed are the warmongers)
They shall be called sons of God
I don't know why?

Eeh ah
I have a dream this afternoon
That the brotherhood of man
Will become a reality in this day
With this faith
I will go out and
Carve the tunnel of hope
Through the mountain of despair
With this faith
I will go out with you and
Transform dark the yesterdays
Into bright tomorrows
With this faith
We will be able to achieve this new day
When all of the God's children
Black men and White men
Jews and Gentiles
Protestants and Catholics
Will be able to join hands
And sing with the Negroes
In the spiritual head
(Peacemaker die)
Free at last, free at last
(Peacemaker die)
Thank God Almighty
We're free at last
I don't know why?
Peacemaker die
Peacemaker die
Peacemaker die
(Peacemaker die)
Peacemaker die
Peacemaker die
I don't know why? Yeah
Peacemaker die
Just one last time

Extreme is an American rock band, currently headed by frontman Gary Cherone and guitarist Nuno Bettencourt. The band reached the height of their popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s with original line-up Gary Cherone, Nuno Bettencourt, Paul Geary and Patrick Badger.

Among some of Extreme’s musical influences are Van Halen, Queen, Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin. The band played at The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992. Geary left the group in 1994 to form an artist management company, and Cherone joined Van Halen in 1996. The band has described their music as “funky metal” in the early days, but it would evolve much more in the mid-1990s by blending classic rock influences with post-grunge and alternative rock.

They have released five studio albums, two EPs (in Japan) and two compilation albums since their formation. The band was one of the most successful rock acts of the early 1990s, selling over 10 million albums worldwide. Extreme achieved their greatest success with their 1990 album Pornograffitti, which peaked at number 10 on the Billboard 200, and was certified gold in May 1991 and double platinum in October 1992. That album featured the acoustic ballad single “More Than Words”, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.
