Ah, peace like a river ran through the city Long past the midnight curfew We sat starry-eyed Ooh, oh,we were satisfied O-o-oh, when I remember Misinformation followed us like a plague Nobody knew from time to time If the plans were changed Oh, oh, oh, if the plans were changed. You can beat us with wires You can beat us with chains You can run out your rules But you know you can't outrun the history train I seen a glorious day, aiee Ah, four in the morning I woke up from out of my dreams Nowhere to go but back to sleep But I'm reconciled Oh, oh, oh, I'm going to be up for a while Oh, oh, oh, I'm going to be up for a while Oh, oh, oh, I'm going to be up for a while
