You Lost The War Lyrics


Cock Sparrer You Lost The War


Work all your life then sell your job, oh Lordy
Walk down the street and get punched in the gob, oh Lordy
Your kids get threatened when they go to school
And they don't even know what for
That's when you know you lost the war

Prison like a holiday camp, oh Lordy
Gone for a minute and your car gets clamped, oh Lordy
You play the game like they tell you to
And still you end up poor
That's when you know you lost the war

The crooks all laugh coz you're such a mug, oh Lordy
The banks say 'We ain't got enough', oh Lordy
Then someone comes in the middle of the night
And steals what you worked hard for
That's when you know you lost the war

And everybody thinks they've got a say
The simple truth is you're just in the way

People marching in the street, oh Lordy
Placards waving fifty deep, oh Lordy
Someone else takes over
And it's just like before
That's when you know you lost the war

And everybody thinks they've got a say
The simple truth is you're just in the way

Fifteen men on a dead man's chest, oh Lordy
Just coz he wasn't like the rest, oh Lordy
They told it was freedom you were fighting for
A country fit for heroes, a paradise for sure
And when you asked for help they kicked you out the door
That's when you know you lost the war
