The Plastics's song "Peace" is a hopeful call for peace in a world that is filled with different groups and ideologies. The opening lines of the song satirically mention various "-isms" that people talk about such as bagism, shagism, dragism, madism, ragism, tagism, and the likes. The song implies that all these "-isms" often lead to division and conflict, and that what the world really needs is a chance for peace. The chorus repeats the phrase "All we are saying is give peace a chance" which becomes the central message of the song.
The second verse references various figures who are associated with religion, politics, and popular culture. The mention of "Ministers, sinisters, banisters, and canisters" highlights the corrupt and oppressive nature of certain institutions. The song also mentions popular figures such as John and Yoko (Lennon and Ono) and Bob Dylan, who were known for their activism and messages of peace. The verse again ends with the chorus which emphasizes the message that peace is what the world needs.
The third verse continues with the satirical tone of the song and mentions various activities and concepts that people talk about such as revolution, evolution, masturbation, flagellation, regulation, meditation, United Nations, and congratulations. Despite the mention of these different topics, the verse still ends with the chorus, emphasizing the message of peace being the most important need of the world.
Overall, The Plastic's song "Peace" is a hopeful and satirical call for peace in a world where differences often lead to conflict. The song emphasizes the importance of setting aside our differences and working towards a common goal of peace.

Waiting for the taxi
Standing in the snow white
Newspaper's are falling on the ground its cold and cold and cold
New York is frosty
Teddy bears and Picknics
Fireplace and candles
And all you need is weapon
This is peace this is funny fairy-tale
Green green green peace
High high high heels
Inside outside
Worry is nonsense
Dream of the tide wave
My peace is your peace
Peace for the people
Peace for the peace
This is peace this is funny fairy-tale
All I see is green green
Graveyard of lily white
Sleeping beauty lying there with dot and symbols
Marmalade evening fur coats and Venus
Venus and mighty dragon says all you need is weapon
This is peace this is funny fairy-tale
