------------------------------------

I heard the phone ring

Then it stopped

It woke me up

It's past two in the afternoon

It's raining



My hair is a mess

A crumpled letter on the floor

A letter i wrote

And threw away last night



Glasses with wine and the

Whisky i drank last night

The cat is walking around

The ashtray full of

Cigarette ends



I wonder why the war

Is not over

I wonder why

There's still war



When i have a hang-over

I don't need any music

I can't stand

Any music



I went through my mail

Threw a lot of letters away

Had some tea

And the afternoon was over



I just stayed home

Waiting for my new lover

Whom i called

Last night

But thinking of you



Isn't war over

Today?

I don't think

War will end



Why isn't

War over yet?

Why isn't

War over?



I was invited

For dinner

To an expensive restaurant

Where only rich people go



I don't think i'll be wearing

The clothes i was wearing last night

I'll put on new clothes

And go out

I'll ask my rich friends

'what does it

Feel like

To be

Rich?'



I wonder if

War will be over

I don't think

War will ever be over
