Sinead O'Connor 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
