Keepin' the Peace

Down in New Mexico we were trav’lin’ along/ Stopped in Los Alamos, didn’t stay long/But we wanted to see the scene of the crime/ Where they made the A-bomb and then created a shrine, singin’

"Alleluia! We’re keeping the peace/We are the stewards of security/Alleluia! Put your minds at ease/We will protect your life and liberty"

Not too far from my own back door/ Is a trigger that would signal up a nuclear war/It travels down to the ground, across the sea/ And up from the water comes a nuclear submarine, singin’ (refrain)

Walkin’ through the woods with an old Swede saw/ Are some people who decided to uphold the law
They said, “Keepin’ the peace is a whole lot bigger”/ And they cut down the pole of that nuclear trigger, singin’

"Alleluia, alleluia! We are here to keep the peace/ Alleluia, alleluia! We'll sit back and rest at ease/When every woman, every child, Every man, every creature of the wild/Every river, every rock, every foreign land isn’t under the gun…of your security plan"/Alleluia, alleluia! We are here to keep the peace
