Where were you when the walls were crumblin'
Where were you when the guns were rumblin'
Where were you when the hounds of hell
Took sisters and lovers away
Did you see me on a 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 nothin' but bones
Who'll be my shinin' 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?

(Chorus)
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 only one winner
And it's always someone else

(Chorus)

No hope, no friend
No peace, no end
