Out of the aeroplane stepped Chamberlain with a condemned man's stare
But we all cheered wildly, a photograph was taken
As he waved a piece of paper in the air
Now the Disco Machine lives in Munich and we are all friends
And I slip on my Italian dancing shoes as the evening descends
And the bells take their toll once again
In victory chime
And we can thank God that we've finally got
Peace in our time
There's a man going 'round taking names no matter who you claim to be
As innocent as babies, a mad dog with rabies
You're still a part of some conspiracy
Meanwhile there's a light over the ocean
Burning brighter than the sun
And a man sits alone in a bar and says "Oh God, what have we done?"
And the bells take their toll once again
In a victory chime
And we can thank God that we've finally got
Peace in our time
They're lighting a bonfire upon every hilltop in the land
Just another tiny island invaded when he's got the whole world in his hands
And the Heavyweight Champion fights in the
International Propaganda Star Wars
There's already one spaceman in the White House
What do you want another one for?
And the bells take their toll once again
In a victory chime
And we can thank God that we've finally got
Peace in our time
