Thea Gilmore - The War songtekst

Je score:

She took a walk
Past rebels and boys who talk
Raised up her hand and fought
To bridge a divide

And the screen ghosts moaned
Flickered in every home
The teeth of the times grew long
And glittered with pride

'Cause the war
It isn’t out there
Like before
It isn’t out there
But they’ll show you the blood on the face of a child
And they’ll sell you your heartbreak so perfectly styled
And they’ll tell you to take your position and man the frontier

But take a look at that box on your desk
Take a look at that heart in your chest
Take a look at those thoughts in your head
The war’s already here

From sea to sea
GTA to MTV
The language of absentees
Is zeros and ones
And Orlando aches
The French Riviera shakes
That avalanche overtakes
The roar of the guns

'Cause the war
It isn’t out there
Like before
It isn’t out there
But they’ll show you the blood on the face of a child
And they’ll sell you your heartbreak so perfectly styled
And they’ll tell you to take your position and man the frontier

But take a look at that box on your desk
Take a look at that heart in your chest
Take a look at those thoughts in your head
The war’s already here

It's so easy to hide
Behind imagined Ironsides
Nostalgic and misty eyed
When the wolf’s at the door

In the tide of hate
Throw down the counterweight
Tear up that flag and say
You’re worthy of more

'Cause she took a walk
Past rhetoric and empty talk
Raised up her hand and fought
To bridge a divide
You can cut that stem
But wild flowers grow again
All you can do is just tend to them
And know that you tried
