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? |
