Lyrics

Don't just stand there
Watching it happening
I can't stand it
Don't feel it

Something telling me
I don't wanna go out this way
But have a nice day, then...

Read it in the headlines,
Watch it on the TV
Put it in the back ground
Stick it in the bag, stick it in the bag

For the beautiful occupation
The beautiful occupation
You don't need an invitation
To drop in upon a nation

I'm too cynical
I'm just sitting here
I'm just wasting my time
Half a million
Civilians gonna to die today
But look the wrong way, then...

Read it in the headlines,
Watch it on the TV
Put it in the back ground
Stick it in the bag, stick it in the bag

For the beautiful occupation
The beautiful occupation
You don't need an invitation
To drop in upon a nation

Don't just stand there
Watching it happening
I can't stand it
Don't feel it

Something telling me
I don't wanna go out this way
But have a nice day, then...

Read it in the headlines,
Watch it on the TV
Put it in the back ground
Stick it in the bag, stick it in the bag

For the beautiful occupation
The beautiful occupation
You don't need an invitation
To drop in upon a nation

The beautiful occupation
The beautiful occupation

So much for an intervention
Don't call the United Nations
