The world is just a great big onion,
And hate and fear are the spices that make it smile, oh baby
And the only way to get rid of this great big onion
Is to plant love seeds until it dies (oh oh)
Hey world, we got a great big job to do
Yeah we need you and everybody prove us true
Oh, don't you know we've got to clean up this place,
And reach for higher goals, yeah (yes we do now)
We've gotta be head strong about right and the wrong
And make a lot more happy salt, oh oh
The world is just a great big onion
And "I don't care", is the face people like to wear (yes it is now)
And the only way to get rid of this great big onion
Every single souls got to do there share
(tell 'em about it baby) Uh ha
So come on, lets knock on every door
Tell them love is the answer
Whether they're rich or poor (oh yeah)
Now we don't care what you do
How you look or you're status claim, baby (no no)
Because brothers and sister from now on is gonna be everyone's name (oh oh)
The world is just a great big onion
And hate fear are the spices that make you cry, (yes it is) oh baby
And the only way to get rid of this great big onion is to plant love seeds
Now everybody gotta plant love seeds
Come on, plant love seeds until it dies
The world is just a great big onion
