Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She dreams of 1969
(Before the soldiers came)
The life was cheap on bread and wine
(And sharin' meant no shame)
She is awakened by the screams
(Of rockets flyin' from nearby)
And scared, she clings onto her dreams
(To beat the fear that she might die)
[Verse 2]
And who will have won when the soldiers have gone
From the Lebanon?
The Lebanon
[Verse 3]
Before he leaves the camp, he stops
(He scans the world outside)
And where there used to be some shops
(Is where the snipers sometimes hide)
He left his home the week before
(He thought he'd be like the police)
But now, he finds he is at war
(Weren't we supposed to keep the peace?)
[Verse 4]
And who will have won when the soldiers have gone
From the Lebanon?
The Lebanon
The Lebanon
From the Lebanon
[Verse 5]
I must be dreamin'
It can't be true
I must be dreamin'
It can't be true
[Verse 6]
And who will have won when the soldiers have gone
From the Lebanon?
The Lebanon
The Lebanon
From the Lebanon
