Well, you tell us that we're wrong
|
And you tell us not to sing our song
|
Nothing we can say will make you see
|
You got a heart of stone
|
You can never feel
|
You say "oh I'm not afraid - it can't happen to me
|
I've lived my life as a good man
|
Oh, no you're out of your mind
|
It won't happen to me
|
'Cos I've carried my weight
|
And I've been a strong man"
|
Listen to the man in the liquor store
|
Yelling "anybody want a drink before the war?"
|
And your parents paid you through
|
You got a nice big car
|
Nothing bothers you
|
Somebody cut out your eyes
|
You refuse to see
|
Somebody cut out your heart
|
You refuse to feel
|
And you live in a sham
|
You create your own hell
|
You live in the past
|
And talk about war
|
And you dig your own grave yeah
|
But it's a life you can save
|
So stop getting fussed
|
It's not gonna happen
|
And you'll cry
|
But you'll never fall
|
No, no, no You're building a wall
|
Gotta break it down
|
Start again
|
No, no, no
|
It won't happen to us
|
We've lived our lives
|
Basically we've been good men
|
So stop talking of war
|
Cause you know we've heard it all before
|
Why don't you go out there
|
And do something useful
|
Oh listen to the man in the liquor store
|
He yelling "anybody wanna drink before the war?"
|
"Anybody wanna drink before the war?"
|
"Anybody wanna drink before the war?"
|
