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 for peace For our children, For our country, For our world, For our future, Oh, john, let's for peace, Let's for peace. - Peace, peace, Let's for peace. Oh, - Peace. Good meine damen und herren, this is the peace call.
John: we're really 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 against any form of violence and we say everybody's getting a Bit heavy or bit intellectual about it. everybody's talking about peace, but Doing anything about it, except for a few people, and the things are, the Square in london. the end product of it was just newspaper stories about Riots and fightings. and we did the bed event in amsterdam and the bag piece in to give people an idea, that there's many ways of protest and this is one of them. And anybody could their hair for peace or give up a week of their 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 fight the With their own weapons is no good, they always win and they'd been winning For thousands of years. they know how to play the violence and it's easier for when they 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 think was the biggest success in history, about 300
John: 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, peaceful methods to bring peace, you know instead of Peace through violence, that's what trying to do and if we succeed in that, the biggest happening yet in the last 300 years, because it's never been done and Nobody has really tried it, you see. and that's what we're to do.
Questioner: what would you do in of a war?
how do you mean?
Questioner: what would you do immediately if you would wake up in the morning, read the and they 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 happens to us is our responsibility, you know. like 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 jewish people that 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 That's not gonna happen, if there's war suddenly, our fault, you know.
Questioner: so what do you think about the behaviour of austrian and during The second world war? don't you think that a little bit more responsible the others?
no, not particularly.
Yoko: no, not particularly. no. the whole world, if the world was really Aware of it and if the journalists and the communication media of those days Really aware of their responsibility as and reported everything correct, you Know, well, which is almost impossible, I'm sure, but as much as and if the Whole world was aware of their responsibility, it could have stopped, I'm sure.
John: well, we know that britain and a few other counties waited a long time Before they made any decision about what to do. I'm not sure of the facts, you Know, but after czechoslovakia and things like that, they stopped it earlier, But they waited until it's on the doorstep, you know, it involves their money, territory.
Questioner: there's a special type of petition that is by special contents ..
John: no. I don't so because...
Questioner: hitler could have been 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 which hasn't of Raped the world and he said austria actually was the only one that didn't Anybody else. they were always on the defensive side, I don't know whether True.
but they were silent at the wrong moment...
John: okay, bad, I agree that silence is bad. but I mean there isn't one european Country that had it's hitler in one way or the other, including britain, in what did to india 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, because are the people Who are going to be the next generation. they're going to be the world, you Know, and we just want to say we are with them. not preaching or anything like That. we want to be with them and we're with and in our way, we're just Announcing that we're open to all invitations or suggestions or to work For the world peace, you see, and we're doing it now, in our own way, we think is The best for us and also the young people have to realise that this is as bad as Before the second world war or right in the of it, you know, that everything, All the violence that is happening in the world now are our 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 like you said. one morning, we find in the Newspaper, find that the whole world is to disappear, you know.
Questioner: I agree you, but don't you see, I mean, it's 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 that can be correct, people sitting under a protesting against wars. they don't think...
Yoko: okay, before they criticise us, you know, and if they want to us, okay, Go ahead, and they do it in their own way, but do something, you know.
Questioner: so everybody throw out his part of hitler out of his soul, then?
John: yes, yes, we all have it in us. in a way, we're saying we want peace and Staying in bed for peace, but I'm as as the next man, and I'm sure yoko is just as Violent just as well. we're violent people, you know. I prefer when I'm non- Violent. I prefer me friends when they're non-violent. it just for easier living And if we have to have violence, channel it, you know. I don't know how, you know, there's other can work out how to channel it, or Give them somewhere to play and kill each or something. but I don't want to be Involved in 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 just say peace you know and be in the news you See. just courage and if everybody gets and of course they would, Because they would think all right maybe this is a little bit thing to do, But look at john and they're doing worse, so I can do it, you know.
