Warm Winter

[Verse 1] And then there was one A girl young, hair in a bun Buried under rubble Pummeling the air from her lungs Shes stunned She really should be scared but shes numb So she keeps tunneling towards the glare of the sun And she wonders, who was sick enough to have done this One minute she sits at her class desk the next shes under it And outta the hundreds That went down She's the only one that made it out among them And she stumbles, through the debris as it crumbles Truthfully if you could have seen what she saw You wouldn't have believed it all ‘is this war?’ Surely not it couldn't reach our shores Nah surely not they couldn't breach our walls We’re the good guys we shouldn't fall And she screams, now this is not a dream But somehow the scene just looks different on the screen [Hook] My mum said its gonna be a warm winter My dad said its gonna be a warm winter Your god said its gonna be a warm winter Everything's a little bit crazy right now Everyone's a little bit strange and right now All I wanna do is find a place to hide out Watch for the bombs falling outta the sky now [Verse 2] And this is how it all ended Allied with some powerful friends that Vowed to keep our towers defended If only we lend them Our hand in a plan to take over a land So we packed bags and entered No questions, no sweat lets just conquer Wouldn't wanna risk that friendship Besides, this is for the best of reasons A pretense that this was an offensive defence Here we come, peace keepers armed with machine guns The bombs whistle songs of freedom And we beat them, yeah we taught them Slaughtered all of 'em patrolled the borders and oil drums And for the fortunate we tortured em and fought the boredom off You ought to ‘just surrender’ when the coalition forces come And on the seventh day we rested Look at all the good we did our kids are protected [Hook] [Verse 3] So we came home, handshakes and ticket tape parades Ace of spades swinging from a rope Hip hooray for the saviours’ We didn't even notice the changes A disease born more contagious than AIDS is Yeah, paranoia it changed us The fear made us insane, afraid of our neighbours The mere delay of a train was taken as strange And every brown paper bag was an Al-Quaeda attack And every street corner had an armed marine on it Peace keepers here to keep the peace that we wanted They took the streets from us, our own leaders Who the fuck would invade a country for no reason? Oh Jesus, goodbye freedom, bye liberty, goodbye sense Goodbye friends, high 50 metre wire fence Irony, yeah didn’t we define it Signed over our rights but didn't read the fine print Opened our eye lids and stormed into the streets for peace It's gonna be a warm winter indeed So there it is, how we became the terrorists At war with our government ‘OK kids class dismissed’ [Hook]
