Living In Detente by Nomeansno Lyrics

Living in Detente where buildings grow so great
All the windows are black in secret state
Muttered voices with points that they must make
Rules of order that we'll negotiate

Living in Detente is so enterprising
Everyone loves the suspense
Living in Detente is just where I want to be

You won't find it on any map cause it
Lies somewhere between peace and wartime, it's
One up on the Jones's, a vicious cycle where
Overthrow is check, overkill is mate

Living in Detente is so mesmerizing
Everyone walks in a daze
Living in Detente where questions make dancers
Of people whose stories aren't straight

It's so quiet, it's so quiet, it's so quiet
It's so cool, it's so cool, it's so cold, it's so cool
It's so cold, it's so cold, it's so cool, it's so cold
It's so cold, it's so cold
Living in Detente is just where I want to be
Living in Detente is just where I want to be
Living in Detente is just where I want to be
Living in Detente is just where I want to be
