澳大利亞搖滾樂團［工作者／Men at Work］──新浪潮／／雷鬼搖滾──［Its a Mistake／這是一個錯誤］

Jump down the shelters to get away
The boys are cockin up their guns
Tell us general, is it party time?
If it is can we all come

Dont think that we dont know
Dont think that were not trying
Dont think we move too slow
Its no use after crying
Saying

Its a mistake, its a mistake
Its a mistake, its a mistake

After the laughter as died away
And all the boys have had their fun
No surface noise now, not much to say
Theyve got the bad guys on the run

Dont try to say youre sorry
Dont say he drew his gun
Theyve gone and grabbed old Ronnie
Hes not the only one saying

Its a mistake, its a mistake
Its a mistake, its a mistake

Tell us commander, what do you think?
Cause we know that you love all that power
Is it on then, are we on the brink?
We wish youd all throw in the towel

Well not fade out too soon
Not in this finest hour
Whistle your favorite tune
Well send a card and flower
Saying

Its a mistake, its a mistake
Its a mistake, its a mistake
