Spanish Civil War

[Verse 1]
Suddenly, times are lookin' bleak
And my head feels heavy
And I'm beggin' you to run away
You will never understand it
I was gone before we landed
Readily, I refuse to be
A lie right where I stand (Stand)

[Chorus]
If I was a soldier in the Spanish Civil War
Flyin' through the sky on my BA-64 (Oh)
Droppin' my bombs and runnin' for the door
'Cause I was dead before your mother was born (Oh)
Yeah, I was dead before they started the war

[Verse 2]
Suddenly, I am feelin' weak
And the past feels heavy
'Cause it's pullin' me away
And I'm tryin' to escape it
But I don't think I can make it
Steadily, I can fail to be
A promise you deserve (Deserve)

[Chorus]
If I was a soldier in the Spanish Civil War
Flyin' through the sky on my BA-64 (Oh)
Droppin' my bombs and runnin' for the door
'Cause I was dead before your mother was born (Oh)
Yeah, I was dead before they started the war

[Outro]
"Yes, considering the necessity for destroying the British"
"But if I live I will never do harm to anyone again that is [?]"
"I hope for that too, man"
"Well then, now we're due. Higher up!"
