Here Comes the War

Here Comes the War - New Model Army

Today as you listen to this song

Another 394 000 children were born into this world

They break like waves of hunger

And desire upon these eroded shores

Carrying the curses of history

But a history yet unwritten

The oil burns in thick black columns

The buzz saws echo through the forest floor

They shout give us our fair share

Give us justice

Here comes the waaaar

Here comes the waaaar

On a gray morning to the south of here

Two young men in makeshift uniforms

Peer into the misty light

And figures dart behind the trees

As a snap of rifle rounds echoes out across the fields

Do they hardly know their sacred mother tongue

Yeah but they recognize to keep to defend

The flag hanging limp on bloody

Above the village church

While a thousand miles away

In a warehouse complex down by the river

Young money men play paint ball games

Here comes the waaaar

Here comes the waaaar

Put out the lights on the age of reason

Oh so blow out the candle

And tell us another of

Those great stories

The ones 'bout serial killers

Let dreams flow into savage times

Do you hear the sirens scream across the city

We've had three hot nights in succession

The riot season is here again

Dear Lord lead us back into the valley of the

Shadow of death

Yeah

Here comes the waaaar aah

Here comes the waaaar

Did you think we were born in peaceful times

Faster faster

Like a whirling dervish spinning round

Faster faster

The center cannot hold

Like a whirling dervish spinning spinning

Faster faster ahh

The center cannot hold

Yeah

Spinning round spinning spinning

Faster faster faster faster faster faster

You said give us liberty or give us death

Ain't of both

What do you want next

Waar

Here comes the waaar

Yeah

Here comes the waaar

Wooh

Here comes the waaar

Yeah

Here comes the waaar

Put out the lights on the age of reason
