	作词 : Stewart
	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
