Rosie's Bar

Download available from

"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 We felt contempt for the old people and their outdated ways.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 and 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
