Peace In the Country - Mungo Jerry

Written By: Ray Dorset

There's peace in the country when the sun goes down

The corn is getting on high

The war is over an there's peace all around

I'm gonna stay 'till I die, yeah

I'm gonna stay 'till I die

The war was bad but it didn't last long

Millions are dead and gone

Nuclair warheads flying all around

Then somebody dropped the bomb, yeah

Then somebody dropped the bomb

There was blood in the mountain, blood in the see

Blood everywhere I trod

Women we're dying, children too

Everybody lost, yeah, everybody lost

Now the sun's getting lower, and the shadows are cast

I can see the corn getting high

No fish in the ocean, no birds in the air

Just dust 'cause someone dropped the bomb, yeah

Dust 'cause someone dropped the bomb

Damn the politicians dictators and all whoever got us into this mess

I'm the only one left with all my senses and limbs

Dunno what's happened to the rest, no

Dunno what's happened to the rest.
