Cold War

You’re twitching like a mouse, but you say nothing
'Cause you’re in charge of restraint
And I eagerly await a cancer on my brain,
Once in a while it says
Oh, I loved our Cold War, we never had to speak
We lived like Communist darlings
And you list me as a friend, but it’s complicated
I’m the guessing the world knows now
And you whisper to your left, you laugh and yawn
You call out the murdering mind
Oh, I loved our Cold War, we never had to speak
We lived like Communist darlings
And I loved our Cold War, we never had to mean what we said
We spoke like our government
And I’m ripping up my skin to feel light-headed
I walk to your room and then
You shot me in the mouth, with a simple little gun
And that was all I could stand
Oh I loved our Cold War, we never had to speak
We lived like Communist darlings
And I loved our Cold War, we never had to mean what we said
We spoke like our government, yeah
