[Intro]
Eí per noi un piacere augurarvi insieme ai R.E.M. un buon cetriolo [it is a pleasure for us to wish you, together with R.E.M., a merry christmas]
[Verse 1]
I need a song to help along
When it feels wrong it seems so long
To get to the light
We live in homes, talk on phones
Hear the tone, can you hold
Moving fast as light
TV's on at night
[Chorus]
Does peace come out of fighting?
Can truth come out of lying?
I'm happy when I'm crying
[Verse 2]
If reality is what I see
Newspapers, magazines, TV
Tell us what's going on
Leading us along
It's not absurd to all get heard
Put our feelings into words
You have to reach inside
No feelings to hide
[Chorus]
Does peace come out of fighting?
Can truth come out of lying?
I'm happy when I'm crying
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Bring children into the world
We couldn't have done it by ourselves
Stop and wonder why
There's more than meets the eye
Somewhere inside, I did believe
I can't belong, I was wrong
I have gained insight
I will see the light
[Outro]
Truth isn't lying
Peace isn't fighting
Love isn't dying
