No Hiding Place - Lonnie Donegan

There’s no hiding place down here

There’s no hiding place down here

I ran to the rocks to hid my face

The rocks said there’s no hiding place

There’s no hiding place down here

Did you hear the sport

On the TV holding forth

About war, nukes and victory

He was dreaming of course but he runs the Air Force

And he’s talking about World War Three

There’s no hiding place down here

There’s no hiding place down here

I ran to the rocks to hid my face

The rocks said there’s no hiding place

There’s no hiding place down here

Then of course we got the clowns

With the plan that they got down

Keep the world paralyzed in fear

Keep the peace keep the strength

And the Rooskies on the brink

More and better, bigger faster missiles here

There’s no hiding place down here

There’s no hiding place down here

I ran to the rocks to hid my face

The rocks said there’s no hiding place

There’s no hiding place down here

With no hand upon your fate

All the prophets do await

Either ending or ten thousand years

You can do just as you will

You can live or you can kill

There’s no hiding place down here

There’s no hiding place down here

There’s no hiding place down here

I ran to the rocks to hid my face

The rocks said there’s no hiding place

There’s no hiding place down here

So before it’s too late

Let there be no mistake

There ain’t no hiding place down here

Only faith is not absurd

In the Master’s chosen words

There’s no hiding place down here

There’s no hiding place down here

There’s no hiding place down here

I ran to the rocks to hid my face

The rocks said there’s no hiding place

There’s no hiding place down here
