Like most songs on "Dodge City Tombstone", "Peace Of Mind" was recorded at Neon Chimp Studios. The drums were tracked first, using a cassette tape recorder that was placed in the same room as the drum kit. Then, it was overdub time. Prime8's Rickenbacker 330/12 and microKORG featured heavily on these sessions.
lyrics
There's a revolution in the air,
Rising up from everywhere,
There's nothing you can do,
They'll overpower you,
Civilization will lie in the dust,
Covered by clouds of broken trust,
Fed up with being 2nd class,
Fed up with walking on broken glass,
There's a revolution in the air,
Rising up from everywhere,
There's nothing you can do,
They'll overpower you,
It doesn't work the way it used to,
It doesn't work the way it should,
It doesn't work the way it used to,
It doesn't work the way it should,
Trying to find their own Peace Of Mind,
Looking for their own Peace Of Mind,
It doesn't work the way it used to,
It doesn't work the way it should,
It doesn't work the way it used to,
It doesn't work the way it should,
Trying to find their own Peace Of Mind,
Looking for their own Peace Of Mind,
The revolution will go on and on,
Till all the hatred in the world is gone,
Till everybody's treated equally,
Regardless of their history,
There's a revolution in the sky,
There's a revolution in your eye,
There's a revolution in the air,
Rising up from everywhere,
There's nothing you can do,
They'll overpower you,
We'll overpower you,
They'll overpower you,
We'll overpower you,
What are you going to do,
When we overpower you,
Power, power, power,
Power, power, power.
