The Best Years of Our Half​-​lives

lyrics

The Best Years of our Half Lives
Eat, drink and be merry
For tomorrow we die
It’s a euthanasia pact
With the authorities
Real men don’t protect themselves
And real men don’t cry
They just slowly decay
People are expendable
When they choose to be
Or maybe it’s the lifestyle that seduces
But it’s hell in that sarcophagus
It’s murder on that beach
But the money’s good
So form an orderly queue
These are the best years of our half lives
Sold for a shilling
Taken from the willing
There’s enough naiveté
To keep the world afloat
Let’s drink to that
Let’s work to keep the fat cats fat
Eat, drink and be smelly
For tomorrow we die
It’s a date with danger every working day
Real men don’t protect themselves
And big boys don’t cry
As long as it’s raining silver
People are expendable…..etc.
Eat drink and be jelly
For tomorrow we die
Spilling blood to build a better future
Real men don’t protect themselves
And real men don’t ask why
Wind them up and send them on their way
