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.
