Drink Before The War |
| Well, now you’re tellin' 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 |
| No you’re out of your mind |
| It won’t happen to me |
| 'cuz I’ve carried my weight |
| And I’ve been a strong man |
| But listen to the man in the liquor stor |
| He yelling, anybody wanna drink before the war? |
| And your parents paid you through |
| You got a nice big car |
| Nothin' 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 shell |
| You create your own hell |
| You live in the past and talk about war |
| And you dig your own grave |
| But it’s a life you can save |
| So start gettin' fast |
| It’s not gonna happen |
| And you’ll cry |
| But you’ll never fall no, no, no You’re building a world |
| Gotta break it down |
| Start again |
| No, no, no — it won’t happen to us We’ve lived our lives |
| Basically have been good men |
| So stop talking of war |
| 'cuz you know we’re heard it all before |
| Why don’t you go out there and do something useful |
| But listen to the man in the liquor store |
| He yellin', anybody wanna drink before the war? |
| Anybody wanna drink before the war? |
| Anybody wanna drink before the war? |
