Commodore, commodore, commodore

Well save yourself

The cellars cold but dry

Commodore, commodore, commodore

Well grab your coat

The wind'll blow out your eyes

Well this closet's not cold

With the embers in my hair

Even papa sleeps tonight

Mama said the war will end

Just as soon as it began

But then why do we sit and hide?

Commodore oh why?

Commodore, commodore

Hide those books

Your candles will keep you warm tonight

Commodore, commodore, commodore

When they knock your place

Drown the cellar light

Well this closet's not cold

With the embers in my hair

Even papa sleeps tonight

Mama said the war will end

Just as soon as it began

But then why do we sit and hide?

Commodore oh why?

It's the blackest of the nights

And the moon won't shine it's light

And the streets stained red so brighte

Well this closet's not cold

With the embers in my hair

Even papa sleeps tonight

Mama said the war will end

Just as soon as it began

But then why do we sit and hide?

Mama said the war will the end

Just as soon as it began

Even Papa slept tonight

But no not me i sat and stared

Out the window to the streets

And saw men and women die

My god my god oh why?

My god oh why?

My god oh why?

My god oh why?
