John Lennon Man Of Peace Lyrics

Man Of Peace Lyrics

Look out your window, baby, there's a scene you'd like to catch,

The band
is playing "Dixie," a man got his hand outstretched.

Could be the
Fuhrer

Could be the local priest.

You know sometimes

Satan
comes as a man of peace.



He got a sweet gift of gab, he got a
harmonious tongue,

He knows every song of love that ever has been
sung.

Good intentions can be evil,

Both hands can be full of
grease.

You know that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.



Well, first he's in the background, then he's in the front,

Both eyes
are looking like they're on a rabbit hunt.

Nobody can see through him,

No, not even the Chief of Police.

You know that sometimes Satan comes
as a man of peace.



Well, he catch you when you're hoping for a
glimpse of the sun,

Catch you when your troubles feel like they weigh a
ton.

He could be standing next to you,

The person that you'd notice
least.

I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.



Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,

He can ride down Niagara
Falls in the barrels of your skull.

I can smell something cooking,

I can tell there's going to be a feast.

You know that sometimes Satan
comes as a man of peace.



He's a great humanitarian, he's a great
philanthropist,

He knows just where to touch you, honey, and how you like
to be kissed.

He'll put both his arms around you,

You can feel the
tender touch of the beast.

You know that sometimes Satan comes as a man
of peace.



Well, the howling wolf will howl tonight, the king snake
will crawl,

Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will
fall.

Wanna get married? Do it now,

Tomorrow all activity will
cease.

You know that sometimes Satan comes as a man
