Someone died last night
As you polished up your shoes
But you were unaware
'Cos you never watched the news
Too involved in your own existence
To see the world outside
It's all too challenging
You just prefer to hide
You ironed your trousers
As the tanks came rolling in
You felt so safe within your home
And when the walls came down
You should've known
You should've known
You should've known

A very early song from around 1979.
