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.

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

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;
