No Peace, No End Songtext
von Richard Thompson

Where were you when there was a problem?
Where were you when the guns were rumbling?
Where were you when the hounds of hell
Took sisters and lovers away?
Did you see me on the slippery slope
Wrong end of a telescope?
Do you even pause for breath
Have you been sleeping well through the day?

Someday, won′t you stand in my shoes
And see the world I see?
No hope, no friend, no peace, no end


I'm ground between two stones
Soon I′ll be nothing but bones
Who'll be my shiny saviour
Before I turn to dust?
Are you the hand that kills me?
Are you the hand that saves me?
When they both sell you down the river
Which one can you trust?

Someday, won't you stand in my shoes
And see the world I see?
No hope, no friend, no peace, no end

The peace museum is a mangy dog
The final soul, a universal log
You can rent her out for your corporate dinner
Feel good about yourself
Geneva Convention they use as a pessary
Olive branch as a fashion accessory
In the big chess game there′s only one winner
And it′s always someone else

Someday, won't you stand in my shoes
And see the world I see?
No hope, no friend, no peace, no end
No hope, no friend, no peace, no end
