Good morning meine damen und herren, this is the peace call.

[John]
What we're really doing is uh, sending out a message to the world but mainly youth, especially the youth or anybody that's interested in protesting For peace or protesting against any forms of violence and we say everybody is getting a bit heady or intellectual about it.
Everybody is talking about peace
But nobody is doing anything about it
Uh, except for a few people
And the things like the the Golden square marches in London
The end product of it was newspaper stories about riots and fighting and we did the Bed Event in Amsterdam and the Bag Piece in Vienna just to give people an idea that there’s many ways of protest and this is one of them and anybody could grow their hair for peace or give up a week of their holiday for peace or sit in a bank for peace.
Protest against peace anyway but peacefully
Cuz we think that peace is only got by peaceful methods
and that to fight the establishment with their own weapons is no good
Because they always win and they've been winning for thousands of years
They know how to play the game violence
And it's easier for them when they can recognize you and shoot you
But they don't know how to handle humor and peaceful humor
and that’s our message really

[Interviewer]
What do you think was the most—biggest success in history in the last 300 years

[John]
I’ve no clue

[Yoko]
Well maybe it's still yet to happen you see
That's why we're trying to do it in other words by very very peaceful method to bring peace
instead of peace through violence, that’s what we’re trying to do
And if we succeed in that, that's the biggest happening yet.
