Karaoké Drink Before the War Sinéad O'Connor

Well, you tell us that we were 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

'Cos 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, oh

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 'cos 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

Yelling, anybody want a drink before the war

Anybody want a drink before the war

Aah, anybody want a drink before the war

Hey hey aah aah ooh aah ooh aah ooh aah

Eeh aah ooh

Hey hey yeah oh aah

Aah ooh ooh ooh

Eeh eeh
