It's a Mistake
Jump down the shelters to get away
The boys are cocking up theirs guns
Tell us General, is it party time
If it is can we all come?
Don't think that we don't know
Don't think that we're not trying
Don't think we move too slow
It's no use after crying, saying
It's a mistake
It's a mistake
It's a mistake
It's a mistake
After the laughter has died away
And all the boys have had their fun
No surface noise now, not much to say
We've got the bad guys on the run
Don't try to say, you're sorry
Don't say, he drew his gun
They've gone and grabbed old Ronnie
He's not the only one, saying
It's a mistake
It's a mistake
It's a mistake
It's a mistake
Tell us commander, what do you think?
We know that you love all that power
Is it on then, are we on the brink?
We wish you'd all throw in the towel
We'll not fade out too soon
Not in this finest hour
Whistling your favorite tune
We'll send a card and a flower, saying
It's a mistake
It's a mistake
It's a mistake
It's a mistake
The boys are cocking up theirs guns
Tell us General, is it party time
If it is can we all come?
Don't think that we don't know
Don't think that we're not trying
Don't think we move too slow
It's no use after crying, saying
It's a mistake
It's a mistake
It's a mistake
It's a mistake
After the laughter has died away
And all the boys have had their fun
No surface noise now, not much to say
We've got the bad guys on the run
Don't try to say, you're sorry
Don't say, he drew his gun
They've gone and grabbed old Ronnie
He's not the only one, saying
It's a mistake
It's a mistake
It's a mistake
It's a mistake
Tell us commander, what do you think?
We know that you love all that power
Is it on then, are we on the brink?
We wish you'd all throw in the towel
We'll not fade out too soon
Not in this finest hour
Whistling your favorite tune
We'll send a card and a flower, saying
It's a mistake
It's a mistake
It's a mistake
It's a mistake
