lyrics

Up there on a mountain
There is a house that a young man bought
When he was drafted
He drew a lucky number
Gave it up for money
He was drafted
And he was gone for seven years
Was is worth it?
And though the house is still standing
Was is worth it?

Nobody knows what the next war will look like
Warships sinking where people used to worship
Nobody knows what the next war will look like
Or when the sea will finally take over the land

On a sunny hillside
There is a house that will be mine
All in good time
And when the next war breaks
Hopefully I'll be too old
To be drafted
So we'll stay there until the end
Watching the tide
As the house will be looming
Above the sea

Nobody knows what the next war will look like
Warships sinking where people used to worship
Nobody knows what the next war will look like
Or when the sea will finally take over the land
