When The War Comes Home |
When they come for you, how will you let them take you? |
Are you gonna let them break you? |
When they come for you. |
'Cause all I was told, and from fear and greed it grew. |
And you can tell it 'til the whole world believes you, |
But that don’t make it true. |
You can sit around and wait for the world to change its ways, |
You got lucky to live without it. |
But there will be no place to hide, |
When you’re on the losing side. |
When the war comes home, what will you do about it? |
When you see the tanks come to the towns you live in, |
And the bullets, they come rippin' through your front door, |
And you’re face to face with tyrants killing tyrants, |
And children killing children, |
Will you know the war? |
You can sit around and wait for the world to change its ways, |
You got lucky to live without it. |
But there will be no place to hide, |
When you’re on the losing side. |
When the war comes home, what will you do about it? |
What will you do? |
When the dust clears, |
And the profiteers behind closed curtains, |
Send their soldiers to collect their fortunes, |
From the holes in your chest. |
Will they claim the sky and name it after their kingdoms? |
The merchants of machine guns. |
Who will win the West? |
You can sit around and wait for the world to change its ways, |
You got lucky to live without it. |
But you can’t hide from the shooting, |
When you’re on the side that’s losing. |
When the war comes home, what will you do about it? |
What will you do? |
