The Beautiful Occupation

Don't just stand there watching it happening

I can't stand it, don't feel it

Something's telling me

I don't wanna 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 back

Stick it in the backFor the beautiful occupation

Beautiful occupation

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 civilians 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 back

Stick it in the backFor the beautiful occupation

Beautiful occupation

Don't need an invitation

To drop in upon a nationDon't just stand there watching it happening

I can't feel it, don't need this

Something telling me

I don't wanna 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 back

Stick in the backFor the beautiful occupation

Beautiful occupation

Don't need an invitation

To drop in upon a nationFor the beautiful occupation

Beautiful occupation

So much for an intervention

Don't call the United Nations
