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
'Cause 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 got to compromise
Don't want no more division
So end this war and live our lives
'Cause 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
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 'Cause 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 got to compromise Don't want no more division So end this war and live our lives 'Cause 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 Explain Request ×
