    Story Behind the Song
    I wrote the music first, as I do with all of my songs. When I sat down to write the lyrics, that whole submarine crisis was going on over in Russia and we got a little reminder of the Cold War. Though this song is about world relations in general, this event is what inspired it.

    Lyrics
    It grows back, you will see,
    Hopelessness, jealousy.
    It comes back, you will see,
    Helplessness, controversy.
    Do you know what they did?
    Signed us off, capped the lid.
    Did they think we knew best?
    Answer's "No," now they rest.

    There's no trust in this world,
    Between us, there's almost zero.
    Better yet, our situation
    Has altered our level of cooperation.

    Insult us, you will see,
    It's unlikely we'll agree.
    If you have one more plea,
    Under lock, under key.
    Do you know what they did?
    Signed us off, capped the lid.
    They could start, maybe,
    World War number Three.

    There's no trust in this world.
    Between us, there's almost zero.
    All of this discrimination
    Has threatened our legislation.
