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 morning damen und herren, this is the peace call.
John: what 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 against any form of violence and we say everybody's getting a Bit heavy or bit intellectual about it. everybody's about peace, but nobody's Doing anything about it, except for a few people, and the are, the grosvenor Square marches in london. the end product of it was newspaper stories about Riots and fightings. and we did the bed event in amsterdam and the bag piece in Just to give people an idea, there's 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 against peace anyway, but cause we Think that peace is only got by peaceful methods and to fight the establishment With their own weapons is no good, because they always win and they'd been 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, humour and that's our message really.
Questioner: do you think was the biggest success in history, about 300 years?
John: a clue.
Yoko: well, maybe still yet to happen, you see. that's why we're trying to do it. in Other words, by very, peaceful methods to bring peace, you know instead of Peace through violence, that's what we're trying to do and if we in that, That's the biggest happening yet in the 300 years, because it's never been done and Nobody has really tried it, you see. and what we're trying to do.
Questioner: what would you do in case of a
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 think that should happen. you talk as if something's 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 just a of all the violent atmosphere that is in The world, you see and when the nazism the jewish 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 of jews, you see. so we share everything, so That's not gonna happen, if war suddenly, that's our fault, you know.
Questioner: so do you think about the behaviour of austrian and germans during The world war? don't you think that they're a little bit more responsible the others?
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 communication media of days were Really aware of their responsibility as and reported everything correct, you Know, well, which is almost impossible, I'm sure, but as as possible and if the Whole was aware of their responsibility, it could have been stopped, I'm sure.
John: well, we know that britain and a few other counties waited a long time Before they made any decision what to do. I'm not quite sure of the facts, you Know, but after and things like that, they could've stopped it earlier, But they until it's on the doorstep, you know, until it involves their money, territory.
Questioner: there's a type of petition that is vetoed by special contents ..
no. I don't think 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 which hasn't sort of Raped the world and he said austria actually was the only one that didn't else. they were always on the defensive side, I don't know whether that's True.
Qustioner: but they were silent at the moment...
John: okay, that's bad, I agree 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 let's so back to the future, you know. so that's why here. we want to Talk mainly to the young people all the world, because those 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. we're not preaching or like That. we want to be with them and we're with them and in our way, just Announcing we're open to all invitations or suggestions or anything to work For the peace, you see, and we're doing it now, in our own way, which 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 in the world now are our responsibility and if we Don't really realise it and start 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, find that the world is going to disappear, you know.
Questioner: I agree with you, but don't you see, I mean, it's a fact that by through Behaviour, I think it's okay, but for a lot of people, through 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, they criticise us, you know, and if they want to criticise us, okay, Go ahead, and they should do it in own way, but do something, you know.
so everybody should 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 and we're Staying in bed for peace, but I'm as violent as the next man, and I'm sure is just as Violent just as well. we're violent people, you know. I prefer myself when I'm Violent. I prefer me friends when they're non-violent. it makes for easier living And if we have to have violence, let's it, you know. I don't know how, you know, there's other can work out how to channel it, or Give somewhere to play 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 clothes and just say peace you know and you'll be in the news you See. just and if everybody gets courage and of course they would, Because they think all right maybe this is a little bit embarrassing thing to do, But look at john and yoko they're worse, so I can do it, you know. That's all trying to do, you see.
