Jump down the shelters to get away
The boys are cockin' up their guns
Don't think that we don't know
Don't think that we're not trying
It's a mistake, it's a mistake
It's a mistake, it's a mistake
After the laughter as died away
And all the boys have had their fun
Don't try to say you're sorry
Don't say he drew his gun
It's a mistake, it's a mistake
It's a mistake, it's a mistake
Tell us commander, what do you think?
'Cos we know that you love all that power
We'll not fade out too soon
Not in this finest hour
It's a mistake, it's a mistake
It's a mistake, it's a mistake
