Drink Before The War Lyrics - Lion & The Cobra - Sinead Oconnor

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 

â??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 

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?"
