Peace In Our Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hey girl let's begin again and try to help ourselves
We're like weary warriors who just came back from hell
You can keep your territory, I will stay in mine
Carefully negotiate and leave this battleground behind
All we deserve is some peace in our time
Unconditional love is better
Peace in our time
And it really doesn't matter
‘Cos the world keeps going round
Just like a rollercoaster
If you let it, it will crush you down
All we deserve is some peace in our time
I don't need no sympathy
Just some peace of mind
The two of us can't take it
Gotta have a truce so we can start
To pull it back together
Otherwise we're gonna fall apart
I'm tearing up the bunch of angry letters that you sent
The living room's a wreck from all the rows
The atmosphere is stifled with aggression
Ultimatums, deadlines and depression
Oh we both deserve a better life
This friction's killing me
Don't want to be a Buddhist but I need some peace and harmony and
All that I ask is some peace in my time
A little bit of understanding peace in our time
And I know that we can make it
But we gotta compromise
Don't want no more division
So end this war and live our lives
‘Cos all we deserve is peace in our time
Unconditional understanding peace in our time
I'm tearing up the bunch of angry letters that you sent
Peace in our time
Peace in our time
