Peace In Our Time |
Out of the aeroplane stepped chamberlain with a condemned mans stare |
But we all cheered wildly, a photograph was taken, |
As he waved a piece of paper in the air |
Now the disco machine lives in munich and we are all friends |
And I slip on my italian dancing shoes as the evening descends |
And the bells take their toll once again in victory chime |
And we can thank God that weve finally got |
Peace in our time |
Theres a man going round taking names no Matter who you claim to be As innocent as babies, a mad dog with rabies, |
Youre still a part of some conspiracy |
Meanwhile theres a light over the ocean |
Burning brighter than the sun |
And a man sits alone in a bar and says «oh god, |
What have we done? |
«Theyre lighting a bonfire upon every hilltop in the land |
Just another tiny island invaded when hes got |
The whole world in his hands |
And the heavyweight champion fights in the |
International propaganda star wars |
Theres already one spaceman in the white |
House what do you want another one for? |
