Before The War
before the war
before the war you had me floored
it felt so good to know that you were keeping score
before the bombs fell on my heart
it felt so good to know you’d rip the world apart
sending all the evildoers to hell
throwing all the trash to someone else
you satisfied my fears and then
you turned them into hate
you started out so clear and then
you turned into a snake
before the dawn it’s not that dark
it’s not too hard to see, the sky is full of sparks
locked in a hall of mirrors with no door
it’s nothing like it was before the war
sending all the evildoers to hell
throwing all the trash to someone else
before the war you had it good
you had a magic glow
but now you pass the buck around,
now i really know
before the war, you were a whore
you were a leech on freedom’s crotch, you were a bore
and now you’re more than just another stale caligula
limping old and sore
you are the enemy i feared
before the war
