War Is...

Line them up make them stand
Let the people countermand
Reaching for the upper hand
Casting lots to rule the fairyland
War is love, war is hell
And in our minds we will never know
Was it a show
And the magic gets stronger that keeps us from seeing in
Start the clock fire the gun
I’ll wait to see who will outrun
Feeding on comparison
Plastic faces stand up to the sun
And in our minds we will never know
Was it a show
And the magic gets stronger that keeps us from seeing in
Perfect tie perfect hair
Perfect coach perfect stare
Perfect speech perfect flair
Perfect chill perfect scare
So I’m glad that it’s not me
Who has the ring or holds the key
Or has to call the family
Or makes a mark on all eternity
And in our minds we will never know
Was it a show
And the magic gets stronger that keeps us from seeing it
War is love war is hell
