Armistice Day

R Hirst, J Moginie, M Rotsey

You're watching people fighting
You're watching people losing
On Armistice Day

The watchers do the wincing
Reporters so convincing
The TV never lies

I went looking for a war
And the only guns I saw
Were never used in anger

The fixers do the fixing
The locals do the lynching
The papers deny

I went looking for a headline
Got taken to the back line
They'd never seen the action
