Lyrics
It's been a long, hard day in Burlington
The favorite son's turned stale
The wicked one's prevailed
So the town's folk all rally to get their guns
To settle things with might
While only one soul resists the fight
Says; "find your peace, find your peace...
Don't hastily react with base release"
Find your peace -
There's more to life than that
Within the bowels of the town dwells a tragic girl
Who has given up on hope
Lost all desire to cope
So she unplugs her heart and now fills her world
With shallow, empty tasks
In clichéd terms she raps
"I wish you peace, wish you peace...
Although any chance for me has surely ceased"
I wish you peace - Is there any life like that?
It's been a long, hard week in Jericho
As the aboriginal men are all called to arms
Except those first-born
They are sheltered from this miracle
What's the harm? What's the harm?
Live in peace, live in peace...
Your better days will doubtlessly increase
Live in peace - conduct your life like that
Out the doors of Walter Reed walks a serviceman
With 14 colorful charms
Just to the left of his severed right arm
Then some appeasers holding signs
Break into mindless chants
To which this hero calmly replies
"For those people I would have honorably died"
To bring them peace, bring them peace
Against their own internal nihilistic beasts
To bring them peace -
Do they deserve a life like that?
But it’s been a long, hard month in Babylon
Patriarchs must adapt
To veils falling to the ground
And it's been a long, hard year in Avalon
As the mighty ABC alliance
Begins to crumble down
I've seen the spring flower bloom
In the desert sand
A new world opens its arms, extends its hand
