| And then there was one, a girl young, hair in a bun
|
| Buried under rubble, pummeling the air from her lungs
|
| She’s stunned, she really should be scared but she’s numb
|
| So she keeps tunneling towards the glare of the sun
|
| And she wonders, who was sick enough to have done this
|
| One minute she sits at her class desk, the next she’s under it
|
| And outta the hundreds that went down
|
| She’s the only one that made it out among them
|
| And she stumbles, through the debris as it crumbles
|
| Truthfully if you could have seen what she saw
|
| You wouldn’t have believed it all
|
| «Is this war?» |
| Surely not, it couldn’t reach our shores
|
| Nah, surely not they couldn’t breach our walls
|
| We’re the good guys we shouldn’t fall
|
| And she screams, now this is not a dream
|
| But somehow the scene just looks different on the screen
|
| My mum said it’s gonna be a warm winter
|
| My dad said it’s gonna be a warm winter
|
| Your God said it’s gonna be a warm winter
|
| Everything’s a little bit crazy right now
|
| Everyone’s a little bit strange and right now
|
| All I wanna do is find a place to lie down
|
| Watch for the bombs falling outta the sky now
|
| And this is how it all ended
|
| Allied with some powerful friends that
|
| Vowed to keep our towers defended
|
| If only we lend them
|
| Our hand in a plan to take over a land
|
| So we packed bags and entered
|
| No questions, no sweat lets just conquer
|
| Wouldn’t wanna risk that friendship
|
| Besides, this is for the best of reasons
|
| A pretense that this was an offensive defence
|
| Here we come, peace keepers armed with machine guns
|
| The bombs whistle songs of freedom
|
| And we beat them, yeah we taught them
|
| Slaughtered all of 'em patrolled the borders and oil drums
|
| And for the fortunate we tortured em and fought the boredom off
|
| You ought to ‘just surrender' when the coalition forces come
|
| And on the seventh day we rested
|
| Look at all the good we did, our kids are protected
|
| My mum said it’s gonna be a warm winter
|
| My dad said it’s gonna be a warm winter
|
| Your God said it’s gonna be a warm winter
|
| Everything’s a little bit crazy right now
|
| Everyone’s a little bit strange and right now
|
| All I wanna do is find a place to lie down
|
| Watch for the bombs falling outta the sky now
|
| So we came home, handshakes and ticket tape parades
|
| Ace of spades swinging from a rope, hip hooray
|
| For the saviours, we didn’t even notice the changes
|
| A disease born more contagious than AIDS is
|
| Yeah, paranoia, it changed us
|
| The fear made us insane, afraid of our neighbours
|
| The mere delay of a train was taken as strange
|
| And every brown paper bag was an Al-Quaeda attack
|
| And every street corner had an armed marine on it
|
| Peace keepers here to keep the peace that we wanted
|
| They took the streets from us, our own leaders
|
| Who the fuck would invade a country for no reason?
|
| (Oh Jesus) Goodbye freedom, bye liberty, goodbye sense
|
| Goodbye friends, hi 50 metre wire fence
|
| Irony, yeah didn’t we define it
|
| Signed over our rights but didn’t read the fine print
|
| Opened our eye lids and stormed into the streets for peace
|
| It’s gonna be a warm winter indeed
|
| So there it is, how we became the terrorists
|
| At war with our government 'okay kids class dismissed'
|
| My mum said it’s gonna be a warm winter
|
| My dad said it’s gonna be a warm winter
|
| Your God said it’s gonna be a warm winter
|
| Everything’s a little bit crazy right now
|
| Everyone’s a little bit strange and right now
|
| All I wanna do is find a place to lie down
|
| Watch for the bombs falling outta the sky now |
