The Beautiful Occupation

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
