Lyrics The Good War - Kimbra

The Good War

We fumble around
Pushing stones through the mesh
We reap as we sow
But so sown to the flesh
I had to dream in monochrome
A lie that they spun
I think I hear Heaven calling me home
When light pours from the sun
Two lives, later I’ll find
Everybody’s gone 'round here
We raise arms, but ain’t got a hand to call mine
I’m still out to find my peace of mind
I’m running on a heartbeat
I can feel it in my bloodflow
Eyes up when they call me
'Cause we’re fighting in the good war
So send me off with a Godspeed
And I’ll slip through the backdoor
You and I gonna die free
'Cause we’re fighting in the good war
We fumble around
Pushing homes from the nest
We’re too far to be found
(Fighting in the good war)
I had to speak in protocol
Biting my tongue
Sometimes I hear Hell calling me home
Yeah, but I know, it’s such a lie we spun
I’m running on a heartbeat
I can feel it in my bloodflow
Eyes up when they call me
'Cause we’re fighting in the good war
So send me off with a Godspeed
And I’ll slip through the backdoor
You and I are gonna die free
'Cause we’re fighting in the good war
I’m running on a heartbeat
I can feel it in my bloodflow
Eyes up when they call me
'Cause we’re fighting in the good war
So send me off with a Godspeed
And I’ll slip through the backdoor
You and I are gonna die free
'Cause we’re fighting in the good war
