Travis - The Beautiful Occupation (From The Hope: Warchild Lyrics



Travis - The Beautiful Occupation (From The Hope: Warchild Lyrics




Don't just stand there watching it happening,
I can't stand it, don't feel it?
Something telling me I don't wanna go out this way,
But “Have a nice day”.

Read it in the headlines, watch it on the TV,
Put it in the background,
Stick it in the back, stick it in the back.

For the beautiful occupation, the beautiful occupation,
You don't need an invitation to drop in upon a nation.

I'm too cynical, I'm just sitting here, I'm just wasting my time.
Half a million civilians are gonna die today, but look the wrong way.

Read it in the headlines, watch it on the TV,
Put it in the background,
Stick it in the back, stick it in the back.

For the beautiful occupation, the beautiful occupation,
You don't need an invitation to drop in upon a nation.

Don't just stand there watching it happening,
Can't stand it, don't feel it?
Something telling me I don't wanna go out this way,
But “Have a nice day”.

Read it in the headlines, watch it on the TV,
Put it in the background,
Stick it in the back, stick it in the back.

For the beautiful occupation, the beautiful occupation,
You don't need an invitation to drop in upon a nation.

A beautiful occupation, a beautiful occupation,
So much for an intervention, don't call the United Nations.
