lyrics

There might be room for doubt
But there's no time for getting out of town
And so the home turf
Puts me in a short skirt
And wonders why I won't come down
There might be loss of steam
But there's no such thing as clean anyway
And so you rumble
Demand me to be humble
Are you surprised that I won't stay?
There might be one more chance
But I know you and you won't dance
So how the hell can I relate?

I buy the smallest thing
It's a steal, hardly worth considering
But the parts came from a distance
And someone worked for sixpence
And couldn't sleep for all their cares
It might be cheap for me
But the living is killing
My friends across the sea

And there's war underneath your nails
There's war up your sleeves
There's war in what you buy and sell
And in how you treat the disease
There's peace on your smiling lips
But war in your ego
There's war in all the things you won't look in the eye
In all the places you will and will not go
