    Story Behind the Song
    takes the political dividing line as an allegory for the distance between people

    Lyrics
    beyond the iron curtain is a feeling new to me,
    beyond the iron curtain there's music for all for free,
    I'd like to tell you all about it but its very hard to see,
    beyond the iron curtain, no strife, no war, just peace.

    I have held so many hands and lost them in the sea,
    I stumbled at the barricades and chosen to be free,
    yes free to yearn and free to weep and free to mumble in my sleep,
    behind the iron curtain where strife and war never cease,

    You have heard the hatchet men the paisleyites the freaks,
    they want you one side or the other waving banners or in the police,
    the curtain falls the lines are drawn the rubber bullets and the pie in the sky,
    well the curtain isn't iron, its money power and greed.

    BEYOND THE IRON CURTAIN THERE ARE NO LINES TO SEE,
    EVERYTHING IS MUZZY, JUST HE AND ME AND SHE,
    NO BLACK NO WHITE NO ORANGE NO CREAM JUST FEELINGS THOUGHTS AND FEARS,
    SO TAKE A STEP BEYOND THE CURTAIN AND TAKE A STEP FOR PEACE.
