I'm here sitting in the wreck of Europe
With a map of Europe
Spread out in a hall of Versailles
And every single nationality and principality
have come for a piece of the pie

I'm sitting in the wreck of Europe
With a map of Europe
And the lines and the borders are gone
We've got to do this jigsaw puzzle
It's an awful muddle
But somehow we've got to go on

Lawrence of Arabia is waiting in the wings
He's got some Arab sheikhs and kings
And we're in debt to them somehow
Lawrence of Arabia has got this perfect vision
Gonna sell him down the river
There's no time for him now

I think I'm gonna take a piece of Russia
And a Piece of Germany
And give them to Poland again
I'll put together Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia
And hope that is how they'll remain

Then I'll take a bit of Turkey
Then a lot of Turkey
This is all quite a heady affair
There's Persia and Iraq to pick up
And there's Churchill's hiccup
And we can't leave it up in the air

Woodrow Wilson waves his fourteen points around
And says "The time to act is now
Won't get this opportunity again"
Woodrow Wilson has his fourteen points
But Clemenceau turns to Lloyd George
And says "You know that
God himself had only ten"

Today I'm carried by a league of notions
(It's a league of notions)
By a league of notions
I don't think I quite understand
(I don't think I understand)
I only know from this commotion
(From this commotion)
There's a chance that we could turn
The world in the palm of our hands
(We can turn the world in the palm of our hands)

Voices in the corridors of power
Candles burning hour by hour
Still you know that to the victors go the spoils
Such a great responsibility to make it fair
And there must be some reparations now
And don't forget the oil

Today I'm carried by a league of notions
(It's a league of notions)
By a league of notions
I don't think I quite understand
(I don't think I understand)
I only know from this commotion
(From this commotion)
There's a chance that we could turn
The world in the palm of our hands
(We can turn the world in the palm of our hands)

Pax vobiscum
Wo-Oh, Pax vobiscum




Mirror lyrics:



Wo-Oh, Pax vobiscum
Pax vobiscum

(We can turn the world in the palm of our hands)
The world in the palm of our hands
There's a chance that we could turn
(From this commotion)
I only know from this commotion
(I don't think I understand)
I don't think I quite understand
By a league of notions
(It's a league of notions)
Today I'm carried by a league of notions

And don't forget the oil
And there must be some reparations now
Such a great responsibility to make it fair
Still you know that to the victors go the spoils
Candles burning hour by hour
Voices in the corridors of power

(We can turn the world in the palm of our hands)
The world in the palm of our hands
There's a chance that we could turn
(From this commotion)
I only know from this commotion
(I don't think I understand)
I don't think I quite understand
By a league of notions
(It's a league of notions)
Today I'm carried by a league of notions

God himself had only ten"
And says "You know that

I'm here sitting in the wreck of Europe
