The Beautiful Occupation (from The Hope: Warchild Lyrics

The Beautiful Occupation (from The Hope: Warchild

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�.

Read it in the headlines,
watch it on the TV,
Put it in the background,
Stick it in the back, stick
it in the back.

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 are gonna die today, but look
the wrong way.

Read it in the headlines, watch it on the TV,
Put it
in the background,
Stick it in the back, stick it in the back.

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,
Can’t stand it, don’t feel
it?
Something telling me I don’t wanna go out this way,
But
“Have a nice day�.

Read it in the headlines, watch it on the
TV,
Put it in the background,
Stick it in the back, stick it in the
back.

For the beautiful occupation, the beautiful occupation,
You
don’t need an invitation to drop in upon a nation.

A beautiful
occupation, a beautiful occupation,
So much for an intervention,
don’t call the United Nations.
