I told you so
|
There's gonna be a war
|
I told you so
|
There's gonna be a big war
|
And I just can't get the big smile off my face
|
I told you so
|
We're heading for disaster
|
I told you so
|
And on the morning after
|
We're gonna have a get together round at Simon's place
|
|
We'll have the biggest demonstration in human history
|
On the night that they drop the bomb
|
We'll write letters to the editors of leftist publications
|
On the night that they drop the bomb
|
Cause if we can't have a better world
|
Then at least can we be right?
|
Yeah we know we can't have a better world
|
But at least we can be right
|
|
I told you so
|
That Vice president Cheney
|
I told you so
|
Is quite Saddam Hussein-y
|
We don't like his type around here
|
I told you so
|
About lying politicians
|
I told you
|
How you should always lie to them
|
Cause you can't trust nothing but money, death and fear
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
We'll release an album of radical folk songs
|
On the night that they drop the bomb
|
We'll crawl over the shingle to plug our single
|
On the night that they drop the bomb
|
We'll wear our wristbands, poppies and ribbons
|
On the night that they drop the bomb
|
We'll see stand-up comedians, demagogues and demons
|
On the night that they drop the bomb
|
Cause there'll never ever be a better world
|
But we'll always be right
|
And you can bet we'll be smiling brightly
|
Into the sudden blinding light
|
