D + { riff } 
The solution to peace isn't clear 
The terrorist threat is a modern fear 
There are no jobs for the young 
They turn to crime and turn to drugs 
Battle ships crowd the sea 
16 year olds in the army 
Our jails are filled to the max 
Discrimination against the blacks 
 
 
   F 
   Planet Earth 1988, planet Earth 1988 
   F              G                  A 
   It's too late, it's too late, it's too late 
 
 
Russians and Americans war machine 
Will destroy mankind's dream 
They shoot their missiles in the air 
They do not care they do not care 
Guerrilla armies rule the streets 
No more Christmas or trick or treat 
Is this what the future will bring 
I pray for peace more than anything 
      
   Planet Earth 1988, planet... 
 
 
{ F  G  A } x3 
 
 
The solution to peace isn't clear 
The terrorists threat is a modern fear 
There is no future for the youth 
There is no hope for the young 
Death destruction bombs galore 
The rich are laughing at the poor 
Our jails are filled to the max 
Discrimination against the blacks 
 
   Planet Earth 1988, planet...
