take all you gave to me and burn it to the ground.

this place i once called home, is nowhere to me now.

green grass where i once laid, is now all turned to brown.

and walls of wood, steel, flesh and bone are slowly crumblin' down.

and don't be sorry 'cause i've heard that all before.

please don't try to justify 'cause nobody wins

in this dirty little war, this dirty little war.



take this tiny band of gold, for no more will it shine.

and everything that once was ours, is now just yours and mine.

so i'll take back my heart and i will give you back your name.

in 90 days, a judge downtown will take back 20 years of pain.

and don't be sorry 'cause i've heard that all before.

please don't try to justify 'cause nobody wins

in this dirty little war, this dirty little war.



so i'll sleep tonight alone, in this bed so hard and cold.

a broken heart i know can heal, but i believe you got my soul.

and don't be sorry 'cause i've heard that all before.

please don't try to justify 'cause nobody wins

in this dirty little war, this dirty little war, this dirty little war.

nobody wins.. in this dirty little war.
