Peace and Love Lyrics

Peace and love is a famous generation
I'm a lover but I'm in it to win
Peace and love is a famous generation
I'm a lover but I'm in it to win

[Hook]
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na


Everybody got shit to pay
Can’t go lala with fafa and rara
Gotta go ditty with dada for nada
It ain’t appropriate that I’m stoked that I get
A hundred-thousand hits on the internet
But that don't mean a shit
Even if you're legitimate

I want to feel honey now, like I got money now
But that don't mean a shit
Even if you're legitimate

[Hook]
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
I used to have scrounge money, on the ground money
Choosing Black Flag was choosing a race
They had a name for us, it was despicable
So disrespectable, we're like the dirty chemical
We were so attracted to mappable
People just wanted us to blend in and fade
Oh, you’re a horror now, a visual foul
When I was a teen, I had incredible dreams
99% y'all, it's in the wall y'all
Constitution's fine if we choose a school
So our kids know who’s spinnin’ the globe

Peace and love is a famous generation
I'm a lover but I'm in it to win
Peace and love is a famous generation
I'm a lover but I'm in it to win
Peace and love is a famous generation
I may be a lover, but I'm in it to win
Peace and love is a famous generation
I'm a lover but I'm in it to win

[Hook]
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na

What did Cat Power say about "Peace and Love"?
Genius Answer

I love hip hop. In that song I had to slow down the guitar – in the end there seems to be a chorus – because I couldn’t keep up with it with my voice.
