[Verse 1]
Where were you when the walls were crumbling?
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 a slippery slope?
Wrong end of a telescope
Do you even pause for breath
As you sleepwalk through the day?
[Chorus]
Someday won't you
Stand in my shoes
And see the world I see?
No hope, no friend
No peace, no end
[Verse 2]
I'm ground between two stones
Soon I'll be nothing but bones
Who'll be my shining savior
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?
[Chorus]
Someday won't you
Stand in my shoes
And see the world I see?
No hope, no friend
No peace, no end
[Verse 3]
In the peace museum there's a mangy dove
To remind us all of universal love
You can rent her out for your corporate dinner
Feel good about yourself
Geneva Convention they use as a pessary
Olive branch is a fashion accessory
In the big chess game there's only one winner
And it's always someone else
[Chorus]
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
