Peace In Our Time — Ray Davies

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 'Cause 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

'Cause 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
