You're watching people fighting   You're watching people losing on Armistice Day   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   Never used in anger      Watching people fighting   Watching people losing, Armistice Day   You're watching people fighting   You're watching people losing on Armistice Day      The fixers do the fixing, the locals do the lynching   The papers deny   I went looking for a headline, got talking to the back line   They'd never seen the action      Watching people fighting   You're watching people losing on Armistice Day   You're watching people fight or say they might   Oh, say they lose on Armistice Day      Watchers do the wincing, reporters so convincing   The TV never lies, it never lies   I went looking for a war and the only guns I saw   Never used in anger      Fixers do the fixing, the locals do the lynching   The papers deny
