Lights out on the street tonight

Walking alone in the fading light

Vague sounds of a distant band

The desperate howls of a one night stand

Thin smile and clenching fist

Scoping tags like sniffing piss

Stay in control as the tension mounts

Magnetic pull from north to south

And I wish I had the resolution

skills to walk away

It never happens quite that way

Do you want to start a war?



Base thump on the stereo

Tongue tied and I want to know

Cut and dried, I'm all cut up

Sting like amphetamines and ready to go

And I wish I had the resolution

skills to walk away

It never happens quite that way

Do you want to start a war?



Do you want to stand up and keep your head held high?

Can you place yourself on the other side?

Do you remember what you're fighting for?

Do you really want to start a war?

Always searching for some answers or some cigarettes

I'd be happy either way.

Do you want to start a war?
