War

You came in peace but now you face the war

We fight for love, we fight to save you all

Your promised land will only do for you

We fight for peace, we fight to save you too

I know you were born to fight all day

You're gonna fight 'til you die

Your strangled, battered, combat head

Still has no time to cry

You might be true, you might be wrong

The answer doesn't count

'Cause life is war so you had to fight

That's all your heart could want

'Cause it's action for the masses

Fresh blood for the poor

Circus on your TV

Diamonds for the fools

Now look at you

You and your war

With this gloom in your head

How can you score?

How will you pray?

How will you plead?

You could win if you learned to lose

Never believe

You don't have to believe

You can't stop, can't break, can't hold back

You fight your war all day

You act like a righteous lumberjack

With an axe to chop away

You've learned so much but you can't update

Your foes change more than you

Now marching has become your fate

No other task for you

'Cause it's action for the masses

Fresh blood for the poor

Circus on your TV

Diamonds for the fools

Now look at you

You and your war

With this gloom in your head

How can you score?

How will you pray?

How will you plead?

You could win if you learned to lose

Never believe

You don't have to believe
