Okay, - - Let's for peace, Let's 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, hope for peace, Let's for peace. - Peace, peace, Let's for peace. Oh, - Peace. Good morning meine und herren, this is the peace call.
what we're really doing is sending out a message to the world, mainly to the Youth, the youth or anybody really that's interested in protesting for Peace, or protesting against any form of violence and we say everybody's 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 marches in london. the end product of it was just newspaper stories Riots and fightings. and we did the bed in amsterdam and the bag piece in vienna Just to give people an idea, that many ways of protest and this is one of them. And could grow their hair for peace or give up a week of their holiday for Peace or sit in a bag for peace, protest peace anyway, but peacefully cause we Think that peace is only got by peaceful methods and that to fight the With their own is no good, because they always win and they'd been winning For thousands of years. they know how to play the violence and it's easier for Them they can recognise you and shoot you. they don't know how to handle Humour, peaceful humour and our message really.
Questioner: do you think 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 peaceful methods to bring peace, you instead of Peace through violence, that's what trying to do and if we succeed in that, That's the biggest happening yet in the last 300 years, because it's never been and has really tried it, you see. and that's what we're trying to do.
Questioner: would you do in case of a war?
how do you mean?
Questioner: what would you do immediately if you would up in the morning, read the newspapers 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 something's to happen Aside of us. we are all in this you see. we are all in the same society and in the World and everything happens to us is our responsibility, you know. like any Violence going in the world is just a symbol of all the violent atmosphere is in The world, you see and when the nazism persecuted the jewish that wasn't only Hitler, who did it or germany, who did it, but just a symbol of everybody in the Who had the feeling for the persecution of jews, you see. so we everything, so That's not gonna happen, if war suddenly, that's our fault, you know.
Questioner: so what do you think about the of austrian and germans during The second world war? don't you think that they're a little bit more the others?
no, not particularly.
Yoko: no, not particularly. no. the world, if the whole world was really Aware of it and if the journalists and the communication media of days were Really 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 of their responsibility, it could have been stopped, I'm sure.
John: well, we know that britain and a few other counties waited quite a time Before they made any decision what to do. I'm not quite 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 that is vetoed by special contents ..
no. I don't 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 which hasn't of Raped the world and he said austria actually was the only one didn't attack Anybody else. were always on the defensive side, I don't know whether that's True.
Qustioner: but they were at the wrong moment...
John: okay, that's bad, I agree silence is bad. but I mean there isn't one european Country that hasn't had hitler in one way or the other, including britain, in what They did to and south africa, you know.
so let's so back to the future, you know. so that's why we're here. we want to Talk to the young people all over the world, because those are the people Who are going to be the generation. they're going to be the next world, you Know, and we just want to say we are with them. we're not preaching or like That. we want to be with them and we're with them and in our way, just Announcing that we're to all invitations or suggestions or anything to work For the world peace, you see, and we're it now, in our own way, which we think is The best for us and also the young people have to that this is just as bad as Before the world war or right in the middle of it, you know, that everything, All the violence that is in the world now are our responsibility and if we Don't really it and immediately start 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, that the whole world is going 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 it's okay, but for a lot of people, through your behaviour, to get Suspicious. they don't that this can be correct, people sitting under a protesting 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 should do it in 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, saying we want peace and we're Staying in bed for peace, but I'm as violent as the man, and I'm sure yoko is just as Violent just as well. we're violent people, you know. I myself when I'm non- Violent. I prefer me friends when non-violent. it just makes for easier living And if we have to have violence, let's it, you know. I don't know how, you know, other people can work out how to channel it, or them somewhere to play and kill each other or something. but I don't want to be Involved in violence. I prefer to live in peace, you know.
Yoko: all you is courage, you know. you can just go out in the street now and Take off all clothes and just say peace you know and you'll be in the news you See. just courage and if gets 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.
