Peace in our time

Shall we kill them ?
shall we shoot them ?
shall we burn and
loot in town then ?
or shall we love them
win them over ?
could you love them
win them over ?

I know we've been fucked over an deceived all along
we've always been shat upon,cheated, defeated, all along
and of course it's all our own doing
but that don't seem to matter today
we all know it's all of our own making
but that don't seem to matter today

      when the shit hits the fan
      and when push comes to shove

Should we hate them ?
should we fear them ?
should we dread'em
not go near them ?
or should we yield and
even shield them ?
from their madness
their crooked sadness ?

I know we've been let down, crushed and frightened all along
we've always been frustrated, debilitated all along
and as we wronged it we could right it
but that don't seem to work today
yes as we lost it we could find it
but that don't seem to work today

     when the shit hits the fan
     and when puch comes to shove

         massive chorus: oh for
                                  peace in our time (3x)
                                  in our time
