Tom Flannery - Was I You Yesterday? lyrics

You were never here so you don't know The horrors of war where the poppies grow And now we march down your main street To the sound of our own shuffling feet You live in your head you can't understand Drowning in mud out in no man's land CNN and the evening news And another pair of boardroom shoes Chorus: Was I you yesterday? Was I you yesterday? Was I you yesterday? Something slipped along the way Something slipped along the way Was I you yesterday? Now you hang your flag and you beat your chest Singing along with all the rest When I say Somme and Pa**chendaele You scratch your head without fail Now I'm old and light is growing dim And I contemplate my childhood sins If everything remains the same Then I'll know I died in vain (chorus)
