Ambush

[Verse 1] The lamp that lights the way Is a light from yesterday The drum which leads the way Is a sound from yesterday [Verse 2] The road is filled with shadows Of a million living leaves Darkness all around us And not a friend in sight [Verse 3] We sang a song together To help us through the night The song was sung with spirit But soft, and like a choir [Verse 4] And as the others sang along Our voices lifted higher We sang until we reached the bridge We crossed, then saw the wire But by the time we stopped the song The enemy opened fire [Chorus] Now, we ain't gonna sing that song no more Ain't gonna sing that song no more Just don't pay to sing no more Especially when you're in a war A war [Bridge] Now, this time through, we want everybody to listen to the punchline! All right! All right! All right! All right! [Verse 5] The song was sung with spirit But soft and like a choir But by the time we stopped the song The enemy opened fire [Chorus] Now, we ain't gonna sing that song no more Ain't gonna sing that song no more Just don't pay to sing no more Especially when you're in a war War
