Lyrics for Armistice Day
You're watching people fighting You're watching people losing on Armistice Day You're watching people fighting You're watching people losing on Armistice Day The watchers do the wincing, reporters so convincing The TV never lies I went looking for a war and the only guns I saw Never used in anger Watching people fighting Watching people losing, Armistice Day You're watching people fighting You're watching people losing 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 back line They'd never seen the action Watching people fighting You're watching people losing on Armistice Day You're watching people fight or say they might Oh, say they lose on Armistice Day Watchers do the wincing, reporters so convincing The TV never lies, it never lies I went looking for a war and the only guns I saw Never used in anger Fixers do the fixing, the locals do the lynching The papers deny
