The Beautiful Occupation - Travis

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 back

Stick it in the back

For the beautiful occupation

The beautiful occupation

You don’t need an invitation

To drop in upon a nation

I’m too cynical

I’m just sitting here

I’m just wasting my time

Half a million civilians gonna die today

But look the wrong way

Then read it in the headlines

Watch it on the TV

Put it in the background

Stick it in the back

Stick it in the back

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 feel it

Don’t need this

Something telling me

I 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 back

Stick it in the back

For the beautiful occupation

The beautiful occupation

You don’t need an invitation

To drop in upon a nation

The beautiful occupation

The beautiful occupation

So much for an intervention

Don’t call the United Nations
