Drink Before the War

Lyrics

Well, you tell 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
 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", yeah-yeah
 But listen to the man in the liquor store
 Yelling, "Anybody want a drink before the war?"
 ♪
 And your parents paid you through
 You 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
 But it's a life you can save
 So stop getting fussed, it's not gonna happen
 And you'll cry but you'll never fall, no, no, no
 You're building a wall
 Gotta break it down, start again
 No, no, no, it won't happen to us
 We've lived our lives
 Basically we've been good men
 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, listen to the man in the liquor store
 He yelling, "Anybody wanna drink before the war?"
 "Anybody wanna drink before the war?"
 "Anybody wanna drink before the war?"
