Okay, - - Let's for peace, hope for peace, - Let's for peace, - Let's for peace. (peace, peace, peace, peace...) - Let's for peace, (peace, peace, peace, peace!) - Let's for peace, - Let's for peace. Oh, john, let's hope for For our children, For our country, For our world, For our future, Oh, john, let's for peace, hope for peace. - Peace, peace, Let's for peace. Oh, - Peace. Good morning meine damen und herren, this is the call.
John: what we're doing is sending out a message to the world, mainly to the Youth, especially the youth or anybody that's interested in protesting for Peace, or protesting against any form of violence and we say everybody's a Bit or bit intellectual about it. everybody's talking about peace, but nobody's Doing anything about it, except for a few people, and the things are, the Square marches in london. the end product of it was just stories about Riots and fightings. and we did the bed event in amsterdam and the bag piece in Just to give people an idea, that there's many of protest and this is one of them. And anybody could grow their hair for peace or give up a week of holiday for Peace or sit in a bag for peace, against peace anyway, but peacefully cause we Think that peace is only got by peaceful methods and that to the establishment With their own weapons is no good, because they always win and been winning For thousands of years. they know how to play the violence and it's easier for Them when can recognise you and shoot you. they don't know how to handle Humour, humour and that's our message really.
Questioner: what do you was the biggest success in history, about 300 years?
haven't a clue.
Yoko: well, maybe it's still yet to happen, you see. that's why trying to do it. in Other words, by very, very methods to bring peace, you know instead of Peace violence, that's what we're trying to do and if we succeed in that, That's the biggest happening yet in the last 300 years, it's never been done and Nobody has really tried it, you see. and that's what trying to do.
what would you do in case of a war?
how do you mean?
Questioner: what would you do immediately if you would wake up in the morning, read the newspapers and would tell you england is in war with france?
I'd die of fright.
Yoko: I don't think that should happen. you talk as if going to happen of us. we are all in this you see. we are all in the same society and in the same World and everything that happens to us is our responsibility, you know. any Violence going in the world is a symbol of all the violent atmosphere that is in The world, you see and when the nazism persecuted the people that wasn't only Hitler, who did it or germany, who did it, but a symbol of everybody in the world Who had the feeling for the persecution of jews, you see. so we everything, so not gonna happen, if there's war suddenly, that's our fault, you know.
Questioner: so what do you think the behaviour of austrian and germans during The second world don't you think that they're a little bit more responsible Than the
no, not particularly.
Yoko: no, not particularly. no. the whole world, if the whole was really Aware of it and if the journalists and the media of those days were aware of their responsibility as well and reported everything correct, you Know, well, which is almost impossible, I'm sure, but as as possible and if the Whole world was aware of their responsibility, it could have stopped, I'm sure.
John: well, we that britain and a few other counties waited quite a long time Before they made any decision about what to do. I'm not quite of the facts, you Know, but after czechoslovakia and things like that, they could've it earlier, But they waited until it's on the doorstep, you know, until it involves money, territory.
Questioner: there's a special type of petition that is by special contents ..
John: no. I think so because...
Questioner: hitler have been voted by the french, for instance.
John: every will have a prototype. I think I was out talking to one of the Austrian tv guys. I said can you name me one european country hasn't sort of Raped the world and he said austria was the only one that didn't attack Anybody else. they were always on the defensive side, I don't know whether True.
Qustioner: but they silent at the wrong moment...
John: okay, that's bad, I agree that silence is bad. but I mean there one european Country that hasn't had it's hitler in one way or the other, including britain, in They did to and south africa, you know.
Yoko: so so back to the future, you know. so that's why we're here. we want to Talk mainly to the young people all over the world, those are the people Who are going to be the next generation. they're to be the next world, you Know, and we just to say we are with them. we're not preaching or anything like That. we want to be with them and we're them and in our way, we're just that we're open to all invitations or suggestions or anything to work For the world peace, you see, and doing it now, in our own way, which we think is The best for us and also the young people have to realise that is just as bad as Before the second war or right in the middle of it, you know, that everything, All the violence is happening in the world now are our responsibility and if we Don't really realise it and immediately something, action, you know, it's going To be bad, you know. and it will be exactly like you said. one morning, we in the Newspaper, that the whole world is going to disappear, you know.
Questioner: I agree with you, but don't you see, I mean, a fact that by through your Behaviour, I think okay, but for a lot of people, through your behaviour, to get Suspicious. they don't think this can be correct, people sitting under a Tablecloth against wars. they don't think...
Yoko: okay, before they criticise us, you know, and if want to criticise us, okay, Go ahead, and they do it in their own way, but do something, you know.
Questioner: so everybody should throw out his part of hitler out of his soul,
John: yes, yes, we all have it in us. in a way, we're saying we want and we're Staying in bed for peace, but I'm as violent as the next man, and I'm sure yoko is as Violent as well. we're violent people, you know. I prefer myself when I'm non- Violent. I prefer me friends when they're non-violent. it just makes for easier And if we have to violence, let's channel it, you know. I don't how, you know, there's other people can work out how to channel it, or Give them somewhere to and kill each other or something. but I don't want to be in their violence. I prefer to live in peace, you know.
Yoko: all you need is courage, you know. you can go out in the street now and Take off all your clothes and say peace you know and you'll be in the news you See. just courage and if everybody courage and of course they would, Because they would think all maybe this is a little bit embarrassing thing to do, But look at john and yoko doing worse, so I can do it, you know. all we're trying to do, you see.
