Lyrics The Stranglers

The Stranglers

Anything Can Happen

Old man never went to war

But he knew what soldiers were for

Playing God so far from home

Family traditions just like before

Anything can happen

Anything at all

The biggest fool can rule the world

As long as he has heard the call

Why do you impose your rules

And treat the rest of us like fools

Don't you know we see right through

The global bully known as you

Can't you look me in the eye

The men who sent our sons to die

Mothers, daughters, they do cry

Can't you look me in the eye

The men who sent our sons to die

Mothers, daughters, they do cry

Can't you look me in the eye

The men who sent our sons to die

Mothers, daughters, they do cry

Mothers cry

Sisters cry

Brothers die

They do cry

Anything can happen

Anything at all

Anything can happen

Anything at all
