Peace in Our Time Lyrics

Stand up! we're never gonna get there soon

Sit down! from the money in your pocket

A second rate man

Doing second rate work

At a second rate desk

In a second rate high rise

Rides a second rate bus

Down second rate roads

To his second rate house

And his second rate doormat

Where his second rate woman

Makes second rate food

In a second rate oven

Watching second rate TV

As his second rate head

Hits his second rate pillow

Second rate monoxide piles up against the window but we

(Jump in the water

Jump in the water

Jump in the water

Find a career

Find a career

Find a career

Find a career

Cheer the winner

Cheer the winner

Cheer the winner

Cheer the winner

Here forever

Here forever

Here forever

Here forever)

And all that the kids want

Is peace in our time

(Honey!)

Peace in our time

Honey!

I toil my fingers to the bone

While that lucky old sun

Rolls round heaven all day

I quit

(Jump in the water

Jump in the water

Jump in the water

Shoo the pariah

Shoo the pariah

Shoo the pariah

Shoo the pariah

Cheer the winner

Cheer the winner

Cheer the winner

Cheer the winner

This is forever

This is forever

This is forever

This is forever)

And all that the kids want

Is peace in our time

(Honey!)

Peace in our time

(Honey!)

Peace in our time

(Honey!)

Peace in our time

Honey

The man who look inside the pot

(Nice, nice times)

Will settle with his lot

(Nice times)

Against the average share

(Nice times. All I ever wanted was nice)

Only take what you have got

(Nice times)

To live and suffer not

(Nice times)

To build up and repair

(Honey)

Honey!

Honey!

Honey!
