Minor War
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Gather your troops, we're going to war
I need an army to save you from yourself.
I've been blacklisted here, but I'm coming back this winter.
Now I know I've got to give.
I'm a stranger beating heart and hand
I've been blacklisted here, but I'm coming back this winter.
When you see rain,
Will you still say that you'll always be there,
Say that you'll always be there in the end,
When I come down.
Here as I wait, I'm getting bored.
You're the one thing tearing me apart.
I've been blacklisted here, but I'll be the last man standing.
Now I know it's got to be,
You've got it all worked out in your head.
I've been blacklisted here, but I'll be the last man standing.
When you see rain,
Will you still say that you'll always be there,
Say that you'll always be there in the end,
When I come down,
You got to lever it down.
Gather your troops, we're going to war
I need an army to save you from yourself.
I've been blacklisted here, but I'll be the last man standing.
When you see rain,
Will you still say you've had enough of me,
Say that you'll always be there 'til the end,
When I come down.
You got to lever it now,
You're like a thorn in my eye,
So to you it's goodbye.
