CHORUS

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 t.v. never lies

I went looking for a war and the only guns I saw

Never used in anger



CHORUS



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



You're 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
