lyrics

There’s poison in the water
And the air ain’t fit to breathe
There are changes in the seasons
All the prophets can agree
Man is so resilient
Always finding something new
I read it in the papers
So I guess it must be true
I can see now
That was my first mistake

Barbed wire at the borders
Cannot keep the hungry out
The line of least resistance
Leaves our future in some doubt
Wars are coming steady now
The marches and parades
I only followed orders
I admit I was afraid
I can see now
That was my first mistake

Lying in my bedroom
With the tv on
Watch the world imploding
We waited far too long
Fifty ‘keys’ of rations
And a loaded ‘44
Is going to have to hold me
There’s a pounding on the door
I can see now
It was my first mistake

I can see now
It was my first mistake
