Human League The Lebanon Lyrics

The Lebanon Lyrics

(Callis/Oakey)
She dreams of nineteen sixty-nine
Before the soldiers
came
The life was cheap on bread and wine
And sharing meant no
shame
She is awakened by the screams
Of rockets flying from nearby
And
scared she clings onto her dreams
To beat the fear that she might die
And
who will have won
When the soldiers have gone
From the Lebanon
The
Lebanon
Before he leaves the camp he stops
He scans the world
outside
And where there used to be some shops
Is where the snipers
sometimes hide
He left his home the week before
He thought heÕd be like
the police
But now he finds he is at war
"WerenÕt we supposed to keep
the peace"
And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone
From the
Lebanon
The Lebanon
The Lebanon
From the Lebanon
I must be
dreaming
It canÕt be true
I must be dreaming
It canÕt be true
And
who will have won
When the soldiers have gone?
From the Lebanon
The
Lebanon
The Lebanon
From the Lebanon
