Date: Thu, 29 Jun 95 23:43:48 CST From: "Ben Weiss" <weis0010@gold.tc.umn.edu> Here's an attempt at another Sinead tune (useful for bashing right-wing politicians). After years and years of listening to this song, there are still some lyrics I can't figure out; any help would be much appreciated. Ben DRINK BEFORE THE WAR Sinead O'Connor (from _The Lion and the Cobra_)
Am You Gtell us that we're AmwrongG Am You tell us Gnot to sing our AmsongsG Am Nothing we can Gsay will make you Amsee Em Am You've got a heart of Emstone, you can never AmfeelEm You say, &Amquot;Oh, I'm Gnot afraid, it can't happeAmn tEmo me Am I believe that Emlife is a Amgood thing (?)Em Oh Amno, you're out of your Gmind, it won't happen to Amme Em F 'Cause I've carried my Gweight and I've been a Fstrong man&qGuot; AmOh, I listen to the Gman in the liquor Amstore G Am(?) Anybody want a Gdrink before the Amwar? G

And you Amcry but you'll never Gfall No no Amno, you're building a Gwall Am Got to break it Gdown, start Amagain Em Am You say, &quoEmt;oh no, it won't happeAmn toEm us" Am We've lived our Emlives basically in Amgoodness&qEmuot;
F So stop talking of Gwar 'cause you know we've Fheard it all Gbefore F Why don't you go out Gthere and do something Amuseful?G AmOh, I've listened to the Gman in the liquor Amstore G Am(?) Anybody want a Gdrink before the Amwar? G Am Anybody want a Gdrink before the Amwar Em AmAh, anybody want a Emdrink before the Amwar? Em AmYeah, Gyeah... Am G
