The world is just a great big onion
And pain and fear are the spices that make you cry
(Oh baby) Oh, and the only way to get rid of this great big onion
Is to plant love seeds until it dies, uh-huh
Hey world! We got a great big job to do
Yeah, we need you
And everybody who loves through
Oh, Don't you know we've got to clean up this place
And reach far high and oh yeah (Yes we do now)
We gotta be headstrong about righting the wrong
And make a lot more happy souls oh, ohh (oh baby)
The world is just a great big onion
And I don't care, it's the face people like to wear (Yes it is now)
And the only way to get rid of this great big onion
Every single soul's got to do their share
Tell 'em bout it, baby! (woo)
So come on, let's knock on every door (woo)
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 your status claim, baby
No, no, because "brothers & sisters" from now on is gonna be everyone's name, oh-oh
The world is just a great big onion
And pain & fear are the spices that make you cry (Yes it is)
And the only way to get rid of this great big onion
Is to plant love seeds
Now everybody got to plant love seeds
Come on and plant love seeds
Until it dies
The world is just a great big onion
