The Good War

We fumbled around

Pushing stones through the mesh

We reap 'cause we sow

It's so sewn to the flesh

I had to dream in monochrome

A lie that they've spun

I think I hear heaven calling me home

We're like poised from the sun

Two lives, later I'll find

Everybody's comin' 'round here

Raise arms, ain't got a hand to call mine

I'm still out to find my peace of mind

I'm running on a heartbeat

I can feel it in my blood flow

Eyes up when they call me

'Cause we're fighting in the good war

So send me off with a godspeed

Then I slam through the backdoor

You and I are gonna die free

'Cause we're fighting in the good war

We fumble around

Pushing homes from the nest

We're too far to be found

(Fighting in the good war)

I had to speak at protocol

Biting my tongue

Sometimes I hear hell calling me home

Yeah I know, it's such a lie we spin

I'm running on a heartbeat

I can feel it in my blood flow

Eyes up when they call me

'Cause we're fighting in the good war

So send me off with a godspeed

Then I slam through the backdoor

You and I are gonna die free

'Cause we're fighting in the good war

(Ooh, ooh-ooh, oh-oh)

(Ooh, ooh-ooh, oh-oh)

(Ooh, oh-oh, oh)

I'm running on a heartbeat

I can feel it in my blood flow

Eyes up when they call me

'Cause we're fighting in the good war

So send me off with a godspeed

Then I slam through the backdoor

You and I are gonna die free

'Cause we're fighting in the good war
