Well, you tell us that we're wrong And you tell us not to sing our song Nothing we can say will make you see You got a heart of stone, you can never feel You say "Oh, I'm not afraid, it can't happen to me I've lived my life as a good man Oh, no you're out of your mind It won't happen to me 'Cause I've carried my weight and I've been a strong man" Listen to the man in the liquor store Yelling "anybody want a drink before the war?" And your parents paid you through You got a nice big car, nothing bothers you Somebody cut out your eyes, you refuse to see Ah, somebody cut out your heart, you refuse to feel And you live in a shell You create your own hell You live in the past and talk about war And you dig your own grave, yeah But it's a life you can save So stop getting fast, it's not gonna happen And you'll cry but you'll never fall, no, no, no You're building a wall Gotta break it down, start again No, no, no, it won't happen to us We've lived our lives, basically we've been good men So stop talking of war 'Cause you know we've heard it all before Why don't you go out there and do something useful? Oh, listen to the man in the liquor store He yelling "anybody want to drink before the war?" "Anybody want to drink before the war?" "Anybody want to drink before the war?"
I’m so glad!! This is great a whole new group of people are being blessed with these tunes!When I was in high school (deep in the south) some of my alternative type friends smuggled this tape into a party…and I was instantly hooked! The whole album is a masterpiece! Enjoy 💜
Next time I'm depressed and drunk, I'm listening and dancing to this over and over till I pass out.
Nothing wrong wit that.
Doing that at this moment
Having a cigarette, while I'm walking on the street and listening to this song in a cold evening, would be enough for me.

Hard to believe this came out in 1988, before nothing compares 2 u
I'm a secret gay man an I can't tell u how many times I've spun my ass out n my room while blaring this song
GOOSEBUMPS
Now it is even more touching
You're the best!
Well, you tell us that we're wrong
And you tell us not to sing our song
Nothing we can say will make you see
You got a heart of stone, you can never feel
You say "Oh, I'm not afraid, it can't happen to me
I've lived my life as a good man
Oh, no you're out of your mind
It won't happen to me
'Cause I've carried my weight and I've been a strong man"
Listen to the man in the liquor store
Yelling "anybody want a drink before the war?"
And your parents paid you through
You got a nice big car, nothing bothers you
Somebody cut out your eyes, you refuse to see
Ah, somebody cut out your heart, you refuse to feel
And you live in a shell
You create your own hell
You live in the past and talk about war
And you dig your own grave, yeah
But it's a life you can save
So stop getting fast, it's not gonna happen
And you'll cry but you'll never fall, no, no, no
You're building a wall
Gotta break it down, start again
No, no, no, it won't happen to us
We've lived our lives, basically we've been good men
So stop talking of war
'Cause you know we've heard it all before
Why don't you go out there and do something useful?
Oh, listen to the man in the liquor store
He yelling "anybody want to drink before the war?"
"Anybody want to drink before the war?"
"Anybody want to drink before the war?"
Sounds damn good in euphoria
