Coventry Lyrics

I'm not from Coventry

But I might as well be

Not from Dresden or Viet Nam

But I surely could be

I am not from Hiroshima

London or Crimea

I m not from Coventry

But I might as well be

They speculate, how to avoid

Civilian casualties

Wonder no more, the answer is

Don't lob bombs at people

They perpetrate, and escalate

While all we wanna do is live

And mind our biz, and get along

Just like in a Two-Tone song

And on the other side of the channel

The Lübeckers want the same

And in the trenches singing Silent Night

The French want a brighter day

I'm not from Coventry

But I might as well be

I'm not from Tokyo, or Korea

But I surely could be

I'm not from Gaza, or Tel Aviv-a

But I have a dream-a

I'm not from Coventry

But I might as well be

Radioactive guitar solo

I'm not from Coventry

But I might as well be

I am not from Coventry

But I surely could be

I'm not from Coventry

But I might as well be

I am not from Coventry

But I surely could be

Stop
