Now ain't it good to know?
That after so long yes
We can all come together
And share each other's views, yes
Now ain't it good to know? Oh
Aren't you feeling excited? Yes
For the joy in me ignited when I heard the news, yeah
That no shot nah buss (no shot nah buss)
And then no one nah fuss (no one nah fuss)
And then no fire nah burn, no (no fire nah burn)
And no blood nah run (run, run, run)
Said no shot nah buss, no (no shot nah buss)
And then no one nah cuss (no one nah cuss)
And then the fire stop burn, no (no fire nah burn)
And the blood stop run (run, run, run)

Ooh gosh, now all is united
There's no room for fighting so
Let's just all be nice
Now all is united
And you are invited
To share this paradise

That after so many years yes
We can walk the streets
And go where we wanna go, oh oh

That some old time enemies, yes
Ceasefire and that the beauty start to show?

And then no shot nah buss (no shot nah buss)
And then no one nah cuss (no one nah cuss)
And then no fire nah burn, no (no fire nah burn)
And no blood nah run (run, run, run)
Said no shot nah buss, no (no shot nah buss)
And then no one nah fuss (no one nah fuss)
No fire nah burn, no (no fire nah burn)
And no blood nah run (run, run, run)

Oh God, all is united
There's no room for fighting so
Let's just all be nice
All is united
And you are invited
To share this paradise, yeah

Now ain't it good to know?
That after so long yes
We can come together and share
Each other's views, yeah yeah yeah
Wouldn't it be good to know
That some old time enemies, yes
Ceasefire and let the beauty star the show?

And then no shot nah buss (no shot nah buss)
And then no one nah fuss (no one nah fuss)
