No Peace No End

Where were you when the walls were crumbling

Where were you when the guns were rumbling

Where were you when the hounds of hell

Took sons and lovers away

Did you see me on the slippery slope

Wrong end of a telescope

Do you even pause for breath

As you sleepwalk through the day

Some day won't you

Stand in my shoes

And see the world I see

No hope no friend

No peace, no end

I'm ground between two stones

Soon I'll be nothing but bones

Who'll be my shining savior

Before I turn to dust?

Are you the hand that kills me?

Are you the hand that saves me?

When they both sell you down the river

Which one can you trust?

Some day won't you

Stand in my shoes

And see the world I see

No hope no friend

No peace, no end

No hope no friend

No peace, no end

In the peace museum there's a mangy dove

To remind us all of universal love

You can rent her out for your corporate dinner

And feel good about yourself

Geneva Convention they use as a pessary

Olive branch is a fashion accessory

In the big chess game there's just one winner

And it's always somebody else

Some day won't you

Stand in my shoes

And see the world I see

No hope no friend

No peace, no end

No hope no friend

No peace, no end
