Lyrics
The Purge (1936)
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.
push me as far as you can, far away from yourselves.
but keep these words of mine in mind when it's your time.
i'm not the first and i won't be the last i assure you.
it won't be long before they're knocking at your door.
you're fighting a war now, a war over nothing.
a war that you're fighting with yourselves.
and you know it's a war that you can't win.
you have been feeding the monsters
without even knowing that our futures
are the price that we would pay.
now they are breeding the next generation of killers
without heart, without soul and without mind.
you're fighting a war now, a war over nothing.
a war that you're fighting with yourselves.
and you know it's a war that you can't win.
