War Were Declared Songtext
von Moonraker

Machete your way through my arteries
And tell me just what you see in me
Is it the spotless walls of my lungs
They′ve been seeing more than their share of bleach
You couldn't last fifteen minutes inside my mind
If you could, I′d pick you up on the side of the turnpike
New Jersey ain't that far if you need a ride

Don't lump me in with the rest of them to explain away my crimes
My father′s sins belong to him, I can do bad by myself just fine

What do you get for the person who wants everything
And what do you say when you tell him you forgot to get him anything


Don′t say a word and I'm a failure
Say just one and I′m a fraud
Fill my wounds with potting soil
And give me all the salt you've got

′Cause I'm afraid of pain and change and growth
So I′ll let the words die in my throat
Or just hoard them for a rainy day
Secretly building machines to keep the clouds away

What do you get for the person who wants everything
And how do you tell him you forgot to get him anything
Just a racial slur between pots and kettles
Just another fucking score to settle
Ball in the corner pocket
Balled on the floor
Just know that this means war

Checkered pasts are just starter flags
Just open the bottle and light the rag
