lyrics

Well, I’m up in the blue, like Switzerland in 1942
But I’m up in the air, I’m now here but I’m nowhere

But I’m sitting on a fence, and no nets, or bets
Or threats can convince me to sway either way
I’m on the fence and that’s where I’m gonna stay
But it hasn’t always been that way

I was so confused in fear of being abused, I let myself be used
Well, I was so confused, I lost the choice to choose the choice to choose
Like a checkmate, like Poland in 1938

(Instrumental)

But then I made up my mind, like Germany did in 1939
And I made up my mind, like Hitler did in 1939

Well, I’m up in the blue, like Switzerland in 1942
And I just can’t take it anymore,
I feel like England felt at the fall of ‘44

And now I’m trying to find a way to be calm
They say that Truman slept like a baby
Before he dropped the BOMB
