Chumbawamba - One Way or the Other Lyrics

Lyrics One Way or the Other - Chumbawamba



Peace won't come
Peace won't come
Peace won't come by words alone
There's a world in front of you
You've only got a certain space to go
I go to me factory and come back
That's supposed to be my bit of seeing the world
The whole world in front of you
The whole world to see and things that haven't been discovered
No pretty please, pretty pretty please (repeats)
One way or the other
Something's got to change
Humdrum has a stammer
Saying w-w-w-whatever
One way or the other
No pretty please, pretty pretty please (repeats)
Peace won't come by words alone
Peace won't come by words alone
I'm so low on order
But high on what I want
And I've got your number
And I'm coming over
One way or the other
No pretty please, pretty pretty please (repeats)
One way or the other
One way or the other
Peace won't come by words alone
Peace won't come by words alone

You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to 'Guard' Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won.
