Lyrics
ATOLL
Men in uniforms came
Men in uniforms saying all the right lines
Do you wanna do something good for mankind?
Palm trees swaying
Canoes wait in the wings
Of the theatre of war
Choreography
Triangle sails on the sea
White flag, hands in the air
White flag, hands in the air
White flag, hands in the air
White flag, hands in the air
Put your hands together now
Bravo
Bravo
This mise en scène is bomb
This mise en scène is bomb
This mise en scène is
Colony of a colony
This mise en scène is
Warships in the lagoon
Forty meters down, tourists
Can get a ticket now
Inside the officer’s mess
Two guns on the deck still
Pointing at the sky
Fish swimming by
Coral’s coming back
Scientists say
Coral’s coming back
Scientists say
Coral’s coming back
But when can you go home?
Exile on the ocean
Men in uniforms sow
Palms in uniform rows
One for each they blew away
Straight lines in your name
Palm trees swaying
Canoes waiting
Their sails like wings
This is not theatre
War is a funeral
White flag, hands in the air
White flag, hands in the air
White flag, hands in the air
Put your hands together now
Bravo
Bravo
This mise en scène is bomb
This mise en scène is bomb
