?[00:11.67]Burning houses some distant screams of pain
[00:17.11]Burning people painful and cruelly slain
[00:23.09]I'm dashing to my chair
[00:25.37]I have a few fried beans
[00:28.09]Some scrambled eggs
[00:29.71]Some bread or toast
[00:31.16]While I watch far off people roast
[00:33.91]It's in the morning news
[00:36.94]I'm trying to find my shoes
[00:39.38]An airplane crashed explosion flashed
[00:42.29]I have to carry out the trash
[00:45.29]Echoes of a distant battle echoes of fear
[00:51.07]Echoes of a distant battle still another beer
[00:56.48]Echoes of a distant battle echoes
[01:02.39]Echoes of a distant battle have another beer
[01:08.43]
[01:19.68]I'm on my way to work
[01:22.09]I watch some well dressed clerk
[01:24.72]Being robbed by some unscrupulous bum
[01:27.59]But as I'm late I hurry on
[01:30.41]At noon I'm out to lunch
[01:33.29]But as a silly bunch
[01:36.22]Of Punks beats up a nice old chap
[01:38.79]I got to hurry for my cab
[01:41.60]Echoes of a distant battle echoes of fear
[01:44.76]Echoes of a distant battle still another beer
[01:47.52]Echoes of a distant battle echoes
[01:57.39]Echoes of a distant battle have another beer
[02:02.59]Oh ah ah ah
[02:05.09]
[02:38.65]Burning houses some distant screams of pain
[02:44.03]Burning people painful and cruelly slain
[02:49.56]I cuddle to my couch
[02:52.37]I nibble some more chips
[02:55.29]The TV shows some other's woes
[02:57.74]But that's the way that this world goes
[03:00.68]And so I went to bed I had one final fag
[03:06.62]The fire brigade was much too late
[03:10.18]The neighbourhood would hesitate
[03:12.16]Echoes of a distant battle echoes of fear
[03:18.03]Echoes of a distant battle still another beer
[03:23.63]Echoes of a distant battle echoes
[03:29.29]Echoes of a distant battle have another beer
[03:36.10]
