lyrics

War, what do you fight for?
Why do you call out at night, hoping that you're prayed for?
It's your art, but it's my life on the line
So hands up, Mr. Nothing-to-lose-here

I know I'm not alright
You steal my one and only delight

War, what do you fight for?
Why are you killing my friends and stealing all their life force?
It's your lust, but it's my love in your arms
So hands up, Mr. Nothing-we-could-do-here

I know, I'm not okay
How far is heaven anyway?

Don't you worry, you're going to be fine
Cause you've got love in your heart,
And bones in your spine (or at least most of them)
If I could help you know I'd make it better.

But I can't. I'm so sorry.

I'll sail away, I'll sail away
I'll sail away, I'll sail away
