Artist/Band: Sinead O'Connor
Lyrics for Song: Drink Before The War
Lyrics for Album: The Lion And The Cobra [1987]



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

ϡos 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 fussed

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 wanna drink before the war?"

"Anybody wanna drink before the war?"

"Anybody wanna drink before the war?"
