the beautiful occupation

travis'in 12 memories adlı albümünün 2. şarkısıdır.

don't just stand there
watching it happening
i can't stand it
don't feel it

something telling me
i don't want to go
out this way
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 gonna
die today
don't 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
i can't stand it
don't feel it

something telling me
i don't want to go
out this way
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

the beautiful occupation
the beautiful occupation
so much for an intervention
don't call the united nations.
