Men of the world, hear the drums in the distance.
There in the beat of the streets of the summers.
Going alone, it’s a suicide mission.
Could you be happy with anything else?
Oh don’t just tag along,
Start a war if you want to,
No, don’t just tag along, start a war if you want to.
Men of the world, see the city walls crumble.
Run for the cover of bunkers and basements,
Long empty hours, the fate of the capture,
Could you be happy with anything else?
No, don’t just tag along,
Start a war if you want to,
No, don’t just tag along, start a war if you want to.
No sirens call, and no bombs should fall,
We’ll lay down my arms, in false alarm.
No soldiers die, and no babies cry,
We’ll lay my head, and off to bed.
Oh don’t just tag along,
Start a war if you want to,
No, don’t just tag along, start a war if you want to.
There in the beat of the streets of the summers.
Going alone, it’s a suicide mission.
Could you be happy with anything else?
Start a war if you want to,
No, don’t just tag along, start a war if you want to.
Run for the cover of bunkers and basements,
Long empty hours, the fate of the capture,
Could you be happy with anything else?
Start a war if you want to,
No, don’t just tag along, start a war if you want to.
We’ll lay down my arms, in false alarm.
We’ll lay my head, and off to bed.
Start a war if you want to,
No, don’t just tag along, start a war if you want to.

Second line is "Blaring the beat from the streets of the suburbs" Maybe about the 9-5/suburban life?
Here are the correct lyrics, typed by Duffy D. of Ladyhawk:
WAR
man of the world hear the drums in the distance
blaring the beat from the streets of the suburbs
go it alone it's a suicide mission
could you be happy with anything else
no don't just tag along, start a war if you want to
no don't just tag along, start a war if you want to
man of the world see the city walls crumble
run for the cover of bunkers and basements
long empty hours evading the capture
could you be happy with anything else
no don't just tag along, start a war if you want to
no don't just tag along, start a war if you want to
no sirens call and no bombs should fall
i will lay down my arms and false alarms
no soldiers die and no babies cry
i will lay down my head and off to bed
no don't just tag along, start a war if you want to
no don't just tag along, start a war if you want to
