Sinéad O’Connor
Drink Before The War
[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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"

[Chorus]
Listen to the man in the liquor store
Yelling "anybody want a drink before the war?"

[Verse 2]
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 fussed, it's not gonna happen
And you'll cry but you'll never fall, no
You're building a wall
Gotta break it down, start again
[Pre-Chorus]
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?

[Chorus]
Oh, listen to the man in the liquor store
He yelling "anybody want to drink before the war?"

[Outro]
"Anybody want to drink before the war?"
"Anybody want to drink before the war?"
