Peace In Our Time Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Peace In Our Time Lyrics

    Out of the aeroplane stepped chamberlain with a condemned man's 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 we've finally got
    Peace in our time

    There's a man going round taking names no
    Matter who you claim to be
    As innocent as babies, a mad dog with rabies,
    You're still a part of some conspiracy
    Meanwhile there's 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?"

    Chorus

    They're lighting a bonfire upon every hilltop in the land
    Just another tiny island invaded when he's got
    The whole world in his hands
    And the heavyweight champion fights in the
    International propaganda star wars
    There's already one spaceman in the white
    House what do you want another one for?

    Chorus
