Colin Hay It's a Mistake Lyrics

Jump down the shelters to get away The boys are c___in' up their guns
Tell us general, is it party time? If it is can we all come?
Don't think that we don't know Don't think that we're not trying
Don't think we move too slow It's no use after crying
Saying

It's a mistake, it's a mistake It's a mistake, it's a mistake

After the laughter has died away And all the boys have had their fun
No surface noise now, not much to say They've got the bad guys on the run
Don't try to say you're sorry Don't say he drew his gun
They've gone and grabbed old Ronnie He's not the only one
Saying

It's a mistake, it's a mistake It's a mistake, it's a mistake

Tell us commander, what do you think? 'Cos we know that you love all that power
Is it on then, are we on the brink? We wish you'd all throw in the towel
We'll not fade out too soon Not in this finest hour
Whistle your favourite tune We'll send a card and a flower
Saying

It's a mistake, it's a mistake It's a mistake, it's a mistake
