You´re watching people fighting, you´re watching people losing On Armistice Day
The watchers do the wincing, reporters so convincing
But the TV never lies I went looking for a war, but the only guns I saw Never used in anger
You´re watching people fight, say they fight, oh say they lose On Armistice Day
The fixers do the fixing, the locals do the lynching The papers deny I went looking for a headline, got talking to the backline They´d never seen the action
