Back to The War — текст песни (John Hiatt)

Youre different from me

All the boundaries are defined

If we keep up with these truces

One of will lose their mind



And I consciously object to your weapons detector

Hedging bets in the private sector

I dont have to salute you

But I might have to shoot you



Lets get back to the war

Thats what were here for

Back to the war

Thats what were here for

Back to the war



Those bullets in the park

Those after dark rendezvous

Somebody has to bleed

As someone draws a bead on you



And it keeps you on your toes, all these innocent gophers

Taking orders in their penny loafers

I could change my position

But you just never listen



Lets get back to the war

Thats what were here for

Back to the war



Bombs away, as they say

Im not about to pay membership dues

Ive got this dynamite

I know youre sitting tight, waiting for news

Well Im lighting the fuse



While you were on vacation

I was stationed at the line

You think weve normalized

Well Im surprised youre so blind



As you traffic in the bucks of the recent reconstruction

This aint no drill team Im conducting

You can make your decision

Or watch it on television



But lets get back to the war

Thats what were here for

Back to the war



Lets get back to the war

Thats what were here for

Back to the war
