The Beautiful Occupation Lyrics

Don't just stand there watching it happening
I can't stand it
Don't feel it
Something's telling me
Don't want to go out this way
But have a nice dayThen read it in the headlines
Watch it on the TV
Put it in the background
Stick it in the bag
Stick it in the bagFor the beautiful occupation
The beautiful occupation
You don't need an invitation
To drop in upon a nationI'm too cynical
I'm just sitting here
I'm just wasting my time
Half a million civillians gonna die today
But look the wrong wayThen read it in the headlines
Watch it on the TV

Put it in the background
Stick it in the bag
Stick it in the bagFor the beautiful occupation
The beautiful occupation
You don't need an invitation
To drop in upon a nationDon't just stand there watching it happening
I can't stand it
Don't feel it
Something telling me
Don't want to go out this way
But have a nice dayThen read it in the headlines
Watch it on the TV
Put it in the background
Stick in the bag
Stick in the bagFor the beautiful occupation
The beautiful occupation
Don't need an invitation
To drop in upon a nationThe beautiful occupation
The beautiful occupation
So much for an intervention
Don't call the united nations
