There is no hope There is no future No faith in god, to save the day There is no reason No understanding No sacred place to hide away There is no earnest conversation No words of wisdom from the wise There is no reconciliation And no collective compromise Peace on earth That's what we want Peace on earth That's what we all say Peace on earth Yet there in the hallway lurks the ghost of war There is no darkness, no sunshine There is no Great society There is no freedom without conviction There is no freedom to be free There is no heaven No fire and brimstone There is no brotherhood of man There is no country No one religion There is no universal plan repeat chorus He wants more and more... The answer is mutual assured destruction A balance of power, a weapon for everyone Mutual assured destruction Bringing peace to everyone (vocal trumpet solo) repeat chorus to end
