Peace Or Violence

I saw people reaching out with their two fingers raised
Their middle and index always in the shape of a 'V'
So I asked what this symbol could mean
And well, no one, oh no one, could explain it to me
Could it be a sign of peace
Or the 'V' of violence
Does anyone know what they're saying
Or what they're doing?

Peace or violence

What do I know?
Peace or violence

Could it be a sign of peace
Or the 'V' of violence
Does anyone know what they're saying
Or what they're doing?

Peace or violence
Peace or violence
What do I know?
Peace or violence

And I thought it was the same because I had to form an opinion
I was called a pessimist
With words to make me want to die
And I insisted
And I will continue to insist
But apparently, according to the big shots, it takes a long time to explain
It will take the time it needs, the time
But eventually, I will know
In 5 years or 10 years or 20 years
But I hope before I kick the bucket!

Peace or violence

Could it be a sign of peace
