[Ad-Lib]
Yeah, yo

[Verse 1]
And then there was one, a girl young, hair in a bun
Buried under rubble, pummeling the air from her lungs
She's stunned, she really should be scared but she's numb
So she keeps tunneling towards the glare of the sun
And she wonders, who was sick enough to have done this
One minute she sits at her class desk, the next she's under it
And outta the hundreds that went down
She's the only one that made it out among them
And she stumbles, through the debris as it crumbles
Truthfully if you could have seen what she saw
You wouldn't have believed it all
"Is this war?" Surely not, it couldn't reach our shores
Nah, surely not they couldn't breach our walls
We’re the good guys we shouldn't fall
And she screams, now this is not a dream
But somehow the scene just looks different on the screen

[Hook]
My mum said it's gonna be a warm winter
My dad said it's gonna be a warm winter
Your God said it's gonna be a warm winter
Everything's a little bit crazy right now
Everyone's a little bit strange and right now
All I wanna do is find a place to lie down
Watch for the bombs falling outta the sky now
[Verse 2]
And this is how it all ended
Allied with some powerful friends that
Vowed to keep our towers defended
If only we lend them
Our hand in a plan to take over a land
So we packed bags and entered
No questions, no sweat lets just conquer
Wouldn't wanna risk that friendship
Besides, this is for the best of reasons
A pretense that this was an offensive defence
Here we come, peace keepers armed with machine guns
The bombs whistle songs of freedom
And we beat them, yeah we taught them
Slaughtered all of 'em patrolled the borders and oil drums
And for the fortunate we tortured em and fought the boredom off
You ought to ‘just surrender’ when the coalition forces come
And on the seventh day we rested
Look at all the good we did, our kids are protected

[Hook]
My mum said it's gonna be a warm winter
My dad said it's gonna be a warm winter
Your God said it's gonna be a warm winter
Everything's a little bit crazy right now
Everyone's a little bit strange and right now
All I wanna do is find a place to lie down
Watch for the bombs falling outta the sky now
[Verse 3]
So we came home, handshakes and ticket tape parades
Ace of spades swinging from a rope, hip hooray
For the saviours, we didn't even notice the changes
A disease born more contagious than AIDS is
Yeah, paranoia, it changed us
The fear made us insane, afraid of our neighbours
The mere delay of a train was taken as strange
And every brown paper bag was an Al-Quaeda attack
And every street corner had an armed marine on it
Peace keepers here to keep the peace that we wanted
They took the streets from us, our own leaders
Who the fuck would invade a country for no reason?
(Oh Jesus) Goodbye freedom, bye liberty, goodbye sense
Goodbye friends, hi 50 metre wire fence
Irony, yeah didn’t we define it
Signed over our rights but didn't read the fine print
Opened our eye lids and stormed into the streets for peace
It's gonna be a warm winter indeed
So there it is, how we became the terrorists
At war with our government 'okay kids class dismissed’

[Hook]
My mum said it's gonna be a warm winter
My dad said it's gonna be a warm winter
Your God said it's gonna be a warm winter
Everything's a little bit crazy right now
Everyone's a little bit strange and right now
All I wanna do is find a place to lie down
Watch for the bombs falling outta the sky now
