Drink Before the War

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"

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 fast, 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 want to drink before the war?"

"Anybody want to drink before the war?"

"Anybody want to drink before the war?"
