Peacemaker (Album Version)

To be born in the fire

Of uncertain times

To be torn by desire in vain

Courted cornered compromised

It's an hour's flight

But it takes all night

To get from cairo to the promised land

And is it people's rights

Or just people's lights

And can the line be drawn that thin

On another day

Another world away

Deescalating in the halls of versailles

Where white tie and tails

Are the coats of mail

For every glass that's raised

Another card is played

Until you leave them pacified

And you go round and around and round

And round around the world

Right back where we started

And you go round and around and round

And round around with words

While half the world is starving

Seeing lie to lie

With the other side

Charming with a cheshire cheshire smile

Has your photograph

Become the golden calf

And is the part you played

Worth the price we'll pay

If you leave the string untied

You go round and around and round

And round around the world

Right back where we started

And you go round and around and round

And round around with words

While half the world is starving

You go round and around and round

And round around with words

You go round and around and round

And round around with words

Trains and planes and the midnight destination

Trying a make the best of a red-hot situation

Trains and planes and the midnight destination

Trying a make the best of a red-hot situation
