Yeh, yo
And then there was one, a girl young, hair in a bun
Buried under rubble, pummeling the air from her lungs
Shes stunned, she really should be scared but shes numb
So she keeps tunneling towards the glare of the sun
And she wonders, who was sick enough to have done this
One minute she sits at her class desk the next shes under it
And outta the hundreds, that went down, shes the only one that made it out among them
And she stumbles, through the debree as it crumbles
Truthfully if you could have seen what she saw, you wouldnt have believed it all
'Is this a war?' surely not it couldnt reach our shores (nah)
Surely not they couldnt breach our walls
We're the good guys we shouldnt fall
And she screams, now this is not a dream
But somehow the scene just looks different on the screen
My mum said its gonna be a warm winter
My dad said its gonna be a warm winter
Your god said its gonna be a warm winter
Everythings a little bit crazy right now
Everyones a little bit strange and right now
All i wanna do is find a place to hide out
Watch for the bombs falling outta the sky now
And this is how it all ended,
Allied with some powerful friends that
Vowed to keep our towers defended, if only we let them
Our hand in a plan to take over a land so we packed bags and entered
No questions, no sweat lets just conquer, wouldnt wanna risk that friendship
Besides, this is for the best of reasons, a pretence that this was an offensive defense
(And here we come, peace keepers holding machine guns, the bombs whistle songs of freedom)
And we beat them, yeh we taught them
Slaughtered all of em and patrolled the borders and oil drums
Bought a fortune and we tortured em and fought the boredom off
The order 'just surrender' when the coallition forces come
And on the seventh day we rested, look at all the good we did
Our kids are protected
My mum said its gonna be a warm winter
My dad said its gonna be a warm winter
Your god said its gonna be a warm winter
Everythings a little bit crazy right now
Everyones a little bit strange and right now
All i wanna do is find a place to hide out
Watch for the bombs falling outta the sky now
So we came home, handshakes and ticket tape parades
Ace of spades swinging from a rope, 'hip hooray for the saviours'
We didnt even notice the changes, a disease born more contageous than aids is
Yeh, paranoia had changed us, the fear made us insane, afraid of our neighbours
The mere delay of a train was taken as strange
And every brown paper bag was an al-quaeda attack
And every street corner had an armed marine on it
Peace keepers here to keep the peace that we wanted
They took the streets from us, our own leaders
Who the fuck would invade a country for no reason? Oh Jesus
Goodbye freedom, bye liberty, goodbye sense, goodbye friends, high 50 metre wire fence
Irony, yeh didnt we define it, signed over our rights but didnt read the fine print
Opened our eye lids and stormed into the streets for peace, its gonna be a warm winter indeed
So there it is, how we became the terrorists at war with our government
'OK kids class dismissed'
My mum said its gonna be a warm winter
My dad said its gonna be a warm winter
Your god said its gonna be a warm winter
Everythings a little bit crazy right now
Everyones a little bit strange and right now
All i wanna do is find a place to hide out
Watch for the bombs falling outta the sky now
