You're watching people fighting you're watching

People losing on Armistice Day

You're watching people fighting

You're watching people losing on Armistice Day

The watchers do the wincing reporters so convincing

But the two never lies

I went looking for a war but the only guns I saw

Never used in anger

You're watching people fight, say they fight

Oh say they lose on Armistice Day

The fixers do the fixing the locals do the lynching the papers deny

I went looking for a headline got talking to the backline

They'd never seen the action
