Watch it on the TV

Put it in the background

Stick it in the bag

Stick it in the bag

For the beautiful occupation

The beautiful occupation

You don’t need an invitation

To drop in upon a nation

Don’t just stand there watching it happening

I can’t stand it

Don’t feel it

Something telling me

Don’t wanna go out this way

But have a nice day

Then read it in the headlines

Watch it on the TV

Put it in the background

Stick it in the bag

Stick it in the bag

For the beautiful occupation

The beautiful occupation

You don’t need an invitation

To drop in upon a nation

For the beautiful occupation

The beautiful occupation

So much for an intervention

Don’t call the united
