Drink Before The War - Sinead O'Connor

Well, now you’re tellin' 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

No you’re out of your mind

It won’t happen to me

'cuz I’ve carried my weight

And I’ve been a strong man

But listen to the man in the liquor stor

He yelling, anybody wanna drink before the war?

And your parents paid you through

You got a nice big car

Nothin' 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

But it’s a life you can save

So start gettin' fast

It’s not gonna happen

And you’ll cry

But you’ll never fall no, no, no You’re building a world

Gotta break it down

Start again

No, no, no — it won’t happen to us We’ve lived our lives

Basically have been good men

So stop talking of war

'cuz you know we’re heard it all before

Why don’t you go out there and do something useful

But listen to the man in the liquor store

He yellin', anybody wanna drink before the war?

Anybody wanna drink before the war?

Anybody wanna drink before the war?
