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? cos 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 favourite tune Well send a card and flower Saying Its a mistake, its a mistake Its a mistake, its a mistake
