It's A Mistake — Men At Work

Jump down the shelters to get away The boys are cockin' up their guns Tell us general, is it party time? If it is can we all come

Don't think that we don't know Don't think that we're not trying Don't think we move too slow It's no use after crying Saying

It's a mistake, it's a mistake It's a mistake, it's a mistake

After the laughter as died away And all the boys have had their fun No surface noise now, not much to say They've got the bad guys on the run

Don't try to say you're sorry Don't say he drew his gun They've gone and grabbed old Ronnie He's not the only one saying

It's a mistake, it's a mistake It's a mistake, it's a mistake

Tell us commander, what do you think? 'Cos we know that you love all that power Is it on then, are we on the brink? We wish you'd all throw in the towel

We'll not fade out too soon Not in this finest hour Whistle your favourite tune We'll send a card and flower Saying

It's a mistake, it's a mistake It's a mistake, it's a mistake
