Peace In Our Time Lyrics - Working Man's Cafe - 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 

'Cos the world keeps going round 

Just like a roller coaster 

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 

'Cos 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
