You tell us that we re wrong
You tell us not to sing our songs
Nothing we can say will make you see
You ve got a heart of stone, you can never feel
You say, "Oh, I m not afraid, it can t happen to me
I believe that life is a good thing (?)
Oh no, you re out of your mind, it won t happen to me
Cause I ve carried my weight and I ve been a strong man"
Oh, I listen to the man in the liquor store
(?) Anybody want a drink before the war?
Your parents paid you through
You ve got a nice big car, nothing bothers you
Somebody cut out your eyes, you refuse to see
Ah, somebody cut out your heart, you refuse to feel
And you live in a shell, you create your own hell
You live in the past and talk about war
And you dig your own grave, yeah
When it s a life you could save
So stop with the past, it s not gonna happen
And you cry but you ll never fall
No no no, you re building a wall
Got to break it down, start again
You say, "oh no, it won t happen to us"
We ve lived our lives basically in goodness"
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, I ve listened to the man in the liquor store
(?) Anybody want a drink before the war?
Anybody want a drink before the war
Ah, anybody want a drink before the war?
Yeah, yeah...
