Lyrics
[Both:] The world is just a great big onion
[MG:] & pain & fear are the spices that make you cry
[Both:] Oh, & the only way to get rid of this great big onion
[VS:] Is to plant love seeds until it dies, uh huh
[MG:] Hey world! We got a great big job to do
Yeah, we need you
& everybody who loves truth
Don't you know we've got to clean up this place
& reach far high & oh yeah
[VS:] Yes we do
We gotta be headstrong about rightin' the wrong
& make a mountain of happy souls, oh; [MG:] Oh
[Both:] The world is just a great big onion
[MG:] & I don't care, it's the face people like to wear
[VS:] Yes it is now
[Both:] & the only way to get rid of this great big onion
[VS:] Every one single soul's got to do their share
[MG:] Tell about it, baby!
[MG:] So come on, let's knock on every door
Tell them love is the answer
Whether they're rich or poor, oh yeah
For we don't care what you do
How you look, or your status claim, baby
[VS:] No no, because brothers & sisters
From now on, is gonna be everyone's name, oh oh
[Both:] The world is just a great big onion
[MG:] & pain & fear are the spices that make you cry
[VS:] Yes it is
[Both:] & the only way to get rid of this great big onion
[VS:] Is to plant love seeds
[MG:] Now everybody, got to plant love seeds
[VS:] Come on & plant love seeds
[MG:] Until it dies
[Both:] The world is just a great big onion
[MG:] & pain & fear are the spices that make you cry
[Both:] Oh, & the only way to get rid of this great big onion
[VS:] Is to plant love seeds until it dies, uh huh
