Lies in a box
Somebody put his teeth in, somebody comb his hair
He was once a hero, you know I wasn't aware
Now my country's carrion lies there in a box
Somebody to remind us that we can never turn back the clocks
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
As the children of forgotten men, how dare we hope to do?
Justice to the names on the lips of so very, very few
And while the tears of a nation drench a blood splattered emblem
Our politicians wring their bloody hands in smug satisfaction
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Justification as we shout-out for the past
Justification for a legacy that lasts
Justification as our leaders dance between the flames
Justification for the acts of demolition in our names
'Cause all I really wanna do is shout, shout, shout, shout
What does it really mean to take back control?
'Cause all I wanna do is shout, shout, shout, shout
As we sleepwalk into a hurricane
For those young men who felt so bold
The taste of glory, but their acts untold
But pensions come as they grow old
Tensions burn as they brave the cold
Dwell upon their dedication, their neglect
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Justification as we shout-out for the past
Justification for a legacy that lasts
Justification as our leaders dance between the flames
Justification for the acts of demolition in our names
'Cause all I really wanna do is shout, shout, shout, shout
What does it really mean to take back control?
'Cause all I wanna do is shout, shout, shout, shout
As we sleepwalk into a hurricane
He was once a hero, you know I wasn't aware
Now my country's carrion lies there in a box
Somebody to remind us that we can never turn back the clocks
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
As the children of forgotten men, how dare we hope to do?
Justice to the names on the lips of so very, very few
And while the tears of a nation drench a blood splattered emblem
Our politicians wring their bloody hands in smug satisfaction
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Justification as we shout-out for the past
Justification for a legacy that lasts
Justification as our leaders dance between the flames
Justification for the acts of demolition in our names
'Cause all I really wanna do is shout, shout, shout, shout
What does it really mean to take back control?
'Cause all I wanna do is shout, shout, shout, shout
As we sleepwalk into a hurricane
For those young men who felt so bold
The taste of glory, but their acts untold
But pensions come as they grow old
Tensions burn as they brave the cold

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Justification as we shout-out for the past
Justification for a legacy that lasts
Justification as our leaders dance between the flames
Justification for the acts of demolition in our names
'Cause all I really wanna do is shout, shout, shout, shout
What does it really mean to take back control?
'Cause all I wanna do is shout, shout, shout, shout
As we sleepwalk into a hurricane
