A five minute break in the midst of preparation
A cigarette to calm your precious nerves
Was it a sound? A reflection in the window?
The sudden presence of another world
But in the deserts of Iran – And in the mountains of Afghanistan
Everybody's happy, everything is fine
Just keep on doing what you do – There'll be no shadow hanging over you
There's no need to worry, oh no – at least not tonight
Your memory drifts to the firm interrogation
With no United Nations by your side
But daddy is rich and your mother is good looking
So hush now little baby, don't you cry
Cause in the deserts of Iran – And in the mountains of Afghanistan
Everybody's happy, everything is fine
Just keep on doing what you do – There'll be no shadow hanging over you
There's no need to worry, oh no – at least not tonight
Aaaa...
Just keep on doing what you do – no acid rain is gonna pour on you
There's no need to worry – at least not tonight
And in the deserts of Iran – And in the mountains of Afghanistan
Everybody's happy, everything's alright
Just keep on doing what you do – There'll be no missiles crashing down on you
There's no need to worry, oh no – at least not tonight
No cause for alarm, they won't do you no harm
Everybody's smiling, everything is fine
And in the ghettos of Sudan – and council houses in Birmingham
There won't be no trouble, oh no – at least not tonight.
