Oh dear daddy what have I done
I think I've swept them all away
Oh dear daddy what have I done
I think I've blown them all away
I threw down all my toys
And one has gone and gone astray
With our pockets full of money
And our shoes are full of sand
I hope some day when the tanks back down
That they will understand
(They will understand, they will understand)
It's a state of mine (whoa oh oh)
State of mine (whoa oh oh)
A state of mine (whoa oh oh)
And its state of mind
Oh dear daddy what have I done
I think I've swept them all away
I sat back and watched them drown and now lives are in decay
If the people bring me ballots, then I'll gladly lend a hand
But until that time forgive me please and I hope you understand
(Hope you'll understand)
It's a state of mine (whoa oh oh)
State of mine (whoa oh oh)
A state of mine (whoa oh oh)
And its state of mind
It's a state of mine (whoa oh oh)
State of mine (whoa oh oh)
A state of mine (whoa oh oh)
And its state of mind
It's a state of mine (whoa oh oh)
State of mine (whoa oh oh)
A state of mine (whoa oh oh)
And its state of mind
Oh dear daddy what have I done
I think I've blown them all away
Oh dear daddy what have I done
I think I've swept them all away
