Where there’s an aircraft down
There’ll be casualties from some English town
There’s always an African war
Leading to one vote, once, once more

(Ah) in the face of all of this
What troubles do you and I possess?
(Ah) in the face of all of this
Trouble enough it seems

Dawn in Afghanistan
They’ve killed a woman who dressed like a man
A city is under mud
But it’s ok, there’s no television blood

(Ah) in the face of all of this
What troubles do you and I possess?
(Ah) in the face of all of this
Our troubles are easy to resist

Here’s the Chinese
Doing exactly what they please
And the toll is climbing high

(Ah) in the face of all of this
What troubles do you and I possess?
(Ah) in the face of all of this
Our troubles are easy to resist

(Ah) in the face of all of this
What troubles do you and I possess?
(Ah) in the face of all of this
Our troubles are easy to resist

(Ah) in the face of all of this
What troubles do you and I possess?
(Ah) in the face of all of this
Troubles I’ll now put away
