Rooks (Extended)

Rollercoaster, stoking fire While we broke into desire Keep me at your knees while you talk Only ghosts can host a liar Smile and focus their empire Keep me feeling pleased and I'll walk They got the country's lungs Held beneath a rubber gun They got the TV turned right up high They got their suits, boots and tails Nails hammering, hope impales your mind They come alive when we all go to sleep And they let their guard down to smile like a father We're the ones who started the war What are they fighting for? Unlimited fingerpower, blinking till the final hour Keep me underneath your thumb Been thinking, but thinking's sour Thinking ain't gonna shake the tower Keep me with a bottle of rum They got the state indoors Pipes beneath the wooden floors They got the music turned right up to ten They got their rooks looking ill Took time until they took the end They come alive when we all go to sleep And they let their guard down to smile like a father We're the ones who started the war What are they fighting for? What are they fighting for? (Rooks) They come alive when we all go to sleep And they let their guard down to smile like a father They got the country's lungs held beneath a rubber gun They got the tv turned right up high They got their suits, boots and tails Nails hammering hope impales your mind Your mind, your mind, your mind Your mind, your mind, your mind Your mind They let their guard down to smile like a father We're the ones who started the war, the war What are they fighting for?
