Profit in Peace
"Profit in Peace" is a rock song by Ocean Colour Scene (OCS).
The song was released in 1999 and reached number 13 in the UK Singles Chart. It is taken from their 1999 album One From The Modern and was the first single to be released from the album.
The song title came from a phrase drummer Oscar Harrison often used, "There's no profit in Peace". Simon Fowler then took that title and wrote the song about the war at the current time and the message is saying because there is no profit in peace - war will not stop.

Profit In Peace
by: Ocean Colour SceneAll the people under broken homes
Don't wanna fight no more
All the people nursing shattered bones
Don't wanna fight no more
But there's no profit in peace
So we've gotta fight some more
And all those who are in foreign lands
Don't wanna fight no more
And all those who lost their feet or hands
Don't wanna fight no more
But there's no profit in peace, boys
We gotta fight some more
Hey, we don't wanna fight no more
Hey, hey, hey, we don't wanna fight no more
But there's no profit in peace, boys
We gotta fight some more
And all those just trying to play their part
Don't wanna fight no more
And all those who own a human heart
Don't wanna fight no more
But there's no profit in what you want
So we must fight some more
And all those who got an axe to grind
Don't wanna fight no more
And all those who got their burning lives
Don't wanna fight no more
But there's no profit in ever being right
So we must fight some more
Hey, we don't wanna fight no more
Hey, hey, hey, we don't wanna fight no more
But there's no profit in peace, boys
We gotta fight some more
And all the people under broken homes
Don't wanna fight no more
And all the people never going home
Don't wanna fight no more
There is profit in the land you own
So we must fight some more
And all those who got a tired face
Don't wanna fight no more
And all those who lost without a trace
Don't wanna fight no more
But there is profit in the love of hate
So we must fight some more
Hey, we don't wanna fight no more
Hey, hey, hey, we don't wanna fight no more
But there's no profit in peace boys
We gotta fight some more
Hey, hey, hey, we don't wanna fight no more
Hey, hey, hey, we don't wanna fight no more
Hey, hey, hey, we don't wanna fight no more
