Lyrics of 'New Day Dawning' by The Adverts

We say don't show your guns, if you don't intend to fight
We say don't sleep all day, if you can't keep awake at night
Don't screw it up. Don't be a hero.
'Cause we don't need them.
Be a panther or a poet.
Someone to light the beacon.

And I wonder, is a new day dawning?
And I wonder, is it around the corner?
I wonder, are the fighting men still fighting men?
Do they go on and on and on?

Prepare to lose.
Prepare to harden to distress.
This ain't your system.
You're just second-generation business.
So don't screw it up. Don't be a hero.
'Cause we don't need them.
No political immunity.
To save your position.

And I wonder, is a new day dawning?
And I wonder, is it around the corner?
I wonder, are the fighting men still fighting men?
Do they go on and on and on?

You can't relax, just 'cause you're socially secure.
If you've forgot what you're fighting for.
We could effect a cause.
So don't screw it up. Don't be a hero.
'Cause we don't need them.
Frustration is a speed of the people and they let it lead them.
