Did you hear ?em talking ?bout it on the radio?
Did you try to read the writing on the wall?
Did that voice inside you say I?ve heard it all before
It?s like déjà vu all over again.

Day by day, I hear the voices risin?
Startin? with a whisper like it did before
Day by day, we count the dead and dying
Ship the bodies home while the networks all keep score

Did you hear ?em talking 'bout it on the radio
Could your eyes believe the writing on the wall
Did that voice inside you say, I?ve heard it all before
It?s like déjà vu all over again.

One by one I see the old ghosts rising
stumbling ?cross big muddy where the light gets dim
Day after day, another momma?s crying,
she?s lost her precious child to a war that has no end.

Did you hear ?em talking ?bout it on the radio?
Did you stop to read the writing at the wall?
Did that voice inside you say I?ve seen this all before
It?s like déjà vu all over again
It?s like déjà vu all over again
