John Fogerty – Deja Vu All Over Again lyrics
Did you hear 'em talkin' '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 Deja Vu all over again

Day by day I hear the voices rising
Started with a whisper like it did before
Day by day we count the dead and dying
Ship the bodies back home while the networks all keep score

Did you hear 'em talin' 'bout it on the radio
Could you're eyes belive the writing on the wall
Did that voice inside you say I've heard it all before
It's like Deja Vu all over again

One by one I see the old ghosts rising
Stumblin' 'cross Big Muddy
Where the light gets dim
Day after day another Mamma's crying
She's lost her precious Child
To a war that has no end

Did you hear 'em talin' '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 Deja Vu all over again
It's like Deja Vu all over again

    Its about war. Specifically, the Viet Nam war and the war in the middle east. Viet Nam was a war without end as the lyrics express, as is the war in the middle east. The latest war in the middle east seems the same, hence like Deja Vu All Over Again. References to the writing on the wall has a double meaning;i. i.e. should have seen it coming and the Viet Nam Memorial wall with the names written there. How we count the dead and dying, sending bodies home while the networks all keep score is a direct reference to Viet Nam in the sense it was the first war to ever come into our homes. Iraq and Afghanistan is the same thing again. Great song.
