Lyrics
Armistice Day
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
But the two 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
