Last night, I was walking through the harbor

Where the fishing boats are lying on the shore

The news had traveled fast and everyone went to be

Where the mayor was making a speech

And the crowd started cheering

When he talked about the glory of it all

And the boys coming home from the war Last night, they were dancing in the streets

And making music in the alleyways and bars

From a house down in the old town

Came the sound of guitars Margarita was waiting inside

With her long black hair hanging down beneath the red light

And she smiled, for the boys coming home from the war

The boys coming home from the war And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine

We were kings in command, we had God on our side

And we said, "Nothing will make us change in any way

Since yesterday, we're just the same

Since yesterday, nothing has changed

Since yesterday, we're just the same"

I can feel there's a new kind of hunger inside

To be satisfied, I saw it there last night Last night, I was walking through the shadows

Far away from all the music and the girls

When I saw a soldier waiting with a woman in black

And they stood without any word

Just staring at a photograph of someone

And she began to cry for a boy left behind in the war

Some boy left behind in the war And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine

We were kings in command, we had God on our side

And we said, "Nothing will make us change in any way

Since yesterday, we're just the same

Since yesterday, nothing has changed

Since yesterday, we're just the same"

But I can feel there's this new kind of hunger inside

To be satisfied, I saw it there last night We're just the same

Nothing has changed

We're just the same
