Everybody's Gone to War
Nerina Pallot - 《Fires》
i've got a friend he's a pure-bred killing machine
he says he's waited his whole damn life for this
i knew him well when he was seventeen
now he's a man he'll be dead by christmas
and so everybody's going to war
but we don't know what we're fighting for
don't tell me it's a worthy cause
no cause could be so worthy
if love is a drug i guess we're all sober
if hope is a song i guess it's all over
how to have faith when faith is a crime?
i'f god's on our side then god is a joker
asleep on the job his children fall over
running out through the door and straight to the sky
for every man who wants to rule the world
there'll be a man who just wants to be free
what do we learn but what should not be learned?
too late to find a cure for this disease
and so everybody's going to war
but we don't know what we're fighting for
don't tell me it's a worthy cause
no cause could be so worthy
if love is a drug i guess we're all sober
if hope is a song i guess it's all over
how to have faith when faith is a crime?
if god's on our side then god is a joker
asleep on the job his children fall over
running out through the door and straight to the sky
i-i-i-i don't want to die
