And the bells take their toll once again in victory chime And we can thank God that we've finally got peace in our time They're lighting a bonfire upon every hilltop in the land (In England) Just another tiny island invaded when he's got the whole world in his hands And the Heavyweight Champion fights in the International Propaganda Star Wars There's already one spaceman in the White House what do you want (the same one again) another one for? And the bells take their toll once again in victory chime And we can thank God that we've finally got peace in our time
In God we trust
