Mungo Jerry Peace In The Country Lyrics

Peace In The Country Lyrics

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 here 'till I die, yeah,

I'm gonna stay here 'till I die



The war was bad but it didn't last long,

Millions are dead and
gone,

Nuclear warheads flying all around,

Somebody dropped the
bomb, yeah,

Somebody dropped the bomb



There was blood in the
mountains, blood in the sea,

Blood everywhere I trod,

Women were
dying, children too,

And 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,

I dunno what's happened to the rest, no, I dunno what's happened to the
rest
