Author(s): Paul Gordon

KeyWords: Pioneering,
Verse 1
We don't need no missiles, 'cause we know what they're for,
We don't need the kind of things that only lead to war.
We don't need rocket ships that take us to the moon.
We don't need covenants that only seal our doom.
Refrain:
Look around you everywhere, tell me what you see?
People living in despair, can you tell me what they need?
Chorus
They need love, love, love to brighten up their day.
They need love, love, love the help them find their way.
They need love, love, love to open up their eyes.
They need love! Lord, help them realize they need love.--
Verse 2
We don't need bigger cars that take us near and far.
We don't need credit cards to tell us who we are.
We don't need no policies that lead us in to debt.
We don't need fancy things that help us to forget.
[Repeat Refrain]
[Repeat Chorus]
Verse 3
We don't need books and theories stuffing up our heads;
Can't you see it's vanity if we all wind up dead?
We don't need the kind of life that says to push and shove.
We don't need a lot of things, but we really do need love.
[Repeat Refrain]
[Repeat Chorus]
Verse 4 [accappela]
Jesus said to the fishermen, "Come and follow Me!
Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
In this world there's trouble that's burning everywhere;
Go and tell the people that there's Someone that cares.
[Repeat Refrain]
[Repeat Chorus]
They need Love!
