| 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 |
