Drink Before the War

by Sinéad O'Connor


    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
    '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
    Somebody cut out your heart
    You refuse to feel
    And you live in a sham
    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 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
    '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's yelling "Anybody wanna drink before the war?"
    "Anybody wanna drink before the war?"
    "Anybody wanna drink before the war?"
