"We'd meet at Rosie's Bar to make plans and talk about the future and how we'd build a better world. We felt contempt for the old people and their stupid, outdated ways. They'd have to move aside and make way for new ideas. We were marching forward into tomorrow and wanted everything to change. 

 

"Then, in time, we eventually saw the reality of it all and grew wise enough to understand what the old people had been saying. But by then we'd become the new old people. Our children had other causes and hated us for being fools." War veteran 

 

Let's go down to Rosie's Bar  

Well, I could use a drink  

And show those turncoats 

Who we are  

And tell them what we think  

Cut them down to size  

And damn their lies  

Damn their hearts  

And damn their eyes  

A new day's just begun  

And we're still moving on

 

So let's go down to Rosie's Bar 

Though there might be a fight 

Cos this time they've all gone too far 

Let's show them we were right 

How we'd read the signs 

Of the changing times 

Not just open mouths 

And closed up minds 

Their old ways are all done 

But we're still moving on

 

Those halcyon days

Are in the past  

And their constant ways 

Are changing fast  

Gonna wake up with the sun  

And we're still moving on 

 

Let's go down to Rosie's Bar . . .

 

 


War doesn't determine who is right - only who is left

As fools kill other fools for their foolish causes
