Suddenly, times are looking bleak
And my head feels heavy
And I'm begging you to run away
You will never understand it
I was gone before we landed

Readily, I refuse to be
I'll lie right where I stand
Stand

If I was a soldier in the Spanish Civil War
Flying through the sky on my BA-64
Dropping my bombs and running for the door
I was dead before your mother was born, oh
Yeah, I was dead before they started the war

Suddenly, I'm feeling weak
And the past feels heavy
'Cause it's pulling me away
And I'm trying to escape it
But I don't think I can make it

Steadily, I can fail to be
A promise you deserve
Deserve

If I was a soldier in the Spanish Civil War
Flying through the sky on my BA-64
Dropping my bombs and running for the door
I was dead before your mother was born, oh
Yeah, I was dead before they started the war
