lyrics

Black helicopters
Swerving into view
Old ladies and girl scouts
Don’t know what to do, they said
“Lord save me
Protect me from all harm”
He took off his helmet
And put his gun under his arm, and he said
“I know it’s scary
Dangerous it’s true
But Baby without this war
There’s no money left for me and you”

Well oh oh oh
Don’t let me down
Gotta dig into our pockets
Just to buy this crown
Well oh oh oh
Can’t get nothing for free
Happiness is what we’re winning
Across the sea

Baby let’s fight this war
You and me are the troops
I want all the pretty things
And I know you do too
With light and right
Let’s win this fight
The whole world ‘round
We can be with one another
As freedom burns into the ground

Well oh oh oh
Don’t let me down
Gotta dig into our pockets
Just to buy this crown
Well oh oh oh
Can’t get nothing for free
Happiness is what we’re winning
Across the sea, yeah

Happiness is what’s been missing
Across the sea
