I heard the phone ring
Then it stopped
It woke me up
It’s past two in the afternoon
It’s raining
My hair is a mess
A crumpled letter on the floor
A letter i wrote
And threw away last night
Glasses with wine and the
Whisky i drank last night
The cat is walking around
The ashtray full of
Cigarette ends
I wonder why the war
Is not over
I wonder why
There’s still war
When i have a hang-over
I don’t need any music
I can’t stand
Any music
I went through my mail
Threw a lot of letters away
Had some tea
And the afternoon was over
I just stayed home
Waiting for my new lover
Whom i called
Last night
But thinking of you
Isn’t war over
Today?
I don’t think
War will end
Why isn’t
War over yet?
Why isn’t
War over?
I was invited
For dinner
To an expensive restaurant
Where only rich people go
I don’t think i’ll be wearing
The clothes i was wearing last night
I’ll put on new clothes
And go out
I’ll ask my rich friends
‘what does it
Feel like
To be
Rich?’
I wonder if
War will be over
I don’t think
War will ever be over
