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...
