All we are saying is give peace a chance
(Yes, yes)
All we are saying is give peace a chance
(Okay, beautiful, yes
We've made it!)

About

“Give Peace a Chance” was released in protest against the war in Vietnam. The song became an anthem of the anti-war movement—it was even sung by participants of the 500,000 strong march on Washington D.C. in November of 1969.

Lennon and Ono were well-known members of the anti-war movement. They even created the method of protest known as a “bed-in,” involving occupying a hotel room for a week at a time as they did on their honeymoon in Amsterdam. This song was actually recorded during one of their “bed-ins” in Montreal.
