This War

In the middle of town
Bunkered in your room
You can live with the draft
Spring is coming soon
A little less jumpy
Coffee was your doom
Your hell is a lighter
Underneath a fuse

And you’ve already gone
Too far when you’ve won this war

The whispering frowns
On solitary views
One can’t be right
When so many fill the pews
Man o’ war’s passions
Are winning by a nose
It’s not how you die
It’s how you dig the hole

And you’ve already gone
Too far when you’ve won this war

The trenches all fill in
When your freedom rings eternal

And you’ve already gone
Too far when you’ve won this war
