Living Before the War Lyrics

Living before the war,
Keeping soldiers in a drawer
Fighting battles in your head
Boots of leather coats of red
Playing soldiers on the floor
Fighting battles across the bed

Boots of leather hearts of lead
Woman prepare yourself for love may come your way
Woman protect yourself make ready for that day

Go now and arm yourself
For love will cross your path
And don't be the first to shoot
But don't you be the last
Was never really living at all
Little soldiers they rise and fall
Boots and coats and hearts and all
What have we been waiting for
We can play this game instead
All our soldiers lying dead

Do do do do do do dah dah dah dah de dah
Dah de dah dah dah dah dah dah dah de dah dah dah
Da deh da dah da dah der dah dah dah

Da de da da de dah dah dah
Keeping soldiers in a drawer
Fighting battles in your head
Boots of leather coats of red
