LYRICS to YOU WANNA LIE US INTO WAR

Hey!
Hey!
We don’t wanna have another war.
We’ve been through all that before.
There is no legit what for.
Hey!
No one wins but you and your.

The gig is up. Stop! Same tricks too many times.
The gig is up. Stop! Your politics are just war crimes.
The gig is up. Stop! The country’s now awakened.
The gig is up. Gonna take back what was taken.

You wanna lie us into war.
Like you did many times before.
Weren’t you aware that we all swore,
we ain’t gonna do that no more.

We don’t believe you anymore.
You don’t respect what we stand for.
You want us in perpetual war.
Hey!
You profit from what we pay for.

The gig is up. Stop! Accusing them of what you do.
The gig is up. Stop! All’s destroyed when you get through.
The gig is up. Stop! We’re in the mood for changing things.
The gig is up. We’re up for rearranging things.

You wanna lie us into war.
Like you did many times before.

It’s a cascade of deceit.
You wanna lie us into war.
A cruel pattern you repeat.
Like you did many times before.
You steal and lie and cheat.
Hey!
You wanna lie us into war.
Hey!
Like you did many times before.
Hey!
We don’t wanna have another war!

ORIGINAL SOURCE MATERIAL

Don’t Come Around Here No More
Music and Lyrics by Tom Petty, David A. Stewart
Single by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
from the album Southern Accents
Released February 28, 1985
Format 7″ vinyl

The original inspiration for the song was a romantic encounter that producer David A. Stewart of Eurythmics had with Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac.

On The Howard Stern Show, Stewart explained that the title’s phrase was actually uttered by Nicks. She had broken up with Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh the night before, and invited Stewart to her place for a party after an early Eurythmics show in Los Angeles.

Stewart did not know who she was at the time, but went anyway. When the partygoers all disappeared to a bathroom for a couple of hours to snort cocaine, he decided to go upstairs to bed. He woke up at 5am to find Nicks in his room trying on Victorian clothing and described the entire scenario as very much reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland.

Later that morning, she told Walsh, «Don’t come around here no more.» Anyway, that’s how the story goes, who knows?
