Gorky Park - Peace In Our Time Lyrics

Everybody's got their cross to bear
You got yours and I got mine
Our hearts are beating to a different drum
The time has come to get in line
I say KNOCK KNOCK,
Is there anybody out there
Anybody who knows it all
Or are you just another pessimistic hero
Waiting for the sky to fall
I ain't here to draw no pretty little picture
Open up your eyes
I need some peace, a little peace
We got to get out alive

Chorus:
Peace in our time, peace in our mind
Everybody's got their cross to bear
Tell me, where do we go from here
I need some peace in my mind
We need some peace in our time

Wake up, take a look around
Tell me what you think you see
There's a whole lot of people in the lost and found
Looking for their liberty
There's a prime time war on my TV screen
There's a dope deal down on my city streets
And the only one who's losing out
Is you and me
I ain't here to paint no pretty little picture
We're running out of time
I need some peace
A little peace
If we're gonna survive

Chorus

Now I ain't here to be no politician
Open up your mind
You better open up your eyes

Chorus
