Elvis Costello & the Attractions
Peace in Our Time
Out of the aeroplane stepped Chamberlain with a condemned man`s stareBut we all cheered wildly, a photograph was taken,As he waved a piece of paper in the airNow the Disco Machine lives in Munich and we are all friendsAnd I slip on my Italian dancing shoes as the evening descendsAnd the bells take their toll once again in victory chimeAnd we can thank God that we've finally gotPeace in our timeThere`s a man going round taking names No matter who you claim to beAs innocent as babies, a mad dog with rabies,You`re still a part of some conspiracyMeanwhile there`s a light over the oceanBurning brighter than the sunAnd a man sits alone in a bar and says "Oh God,What have we done?"[Chorus:]They`re lighting a bonfire upon every hilltop in the landJust another tiny island invaded when he`s gotThe whole world in his handsAnd the Heavyweight Champion fights in theInternational propaganda Star WarsThere`s already one spaceman in the White HouseWhat do you want another one for?[Chorus:]
