Standard (EADGBE)

You tell us that we're wrong

You tell us not to sing our songs

Nothing we can say will make you see

You've got a heart of stone, you can never feel

You say, "Oh, I'm not afraid, it can't happen to me

I believe that life is a good thing (?)

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"

Oh, I listen to the man in the liquor store

(?) Anybody want a drink before the war?

Your parents paid you through

You've 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

When it's a life you could save

So stop with the past, it's not gonna happen

And you cry but you'll never fall

No no no, you're building a wall

Got to break it down, start again

You say, "oh no, it won't happen to us"

We've lived our lives basically in goodness"

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, I've listened to the man in the liquor store

(?) Anybody want a drink before the war?

Anybody want a drink before the war

Ah, anybody want a drink before the war?

Yeah, yeah...
