Outside The 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.
The striker’s on the take
All he sees, the throne, seize the bone
That child is born again
Throw it away, they throw it away
I tried to warn, say, I tried to warn, say
We’re going to war if you throw it away
I tried to warn, say, you’ll bring it home
Say you’ll bring it home again
And we gonna waste away
We gon’ waste away
We gon’ waste away
And we gonna waste away
We gon’ waste away
We gon’ waste away
Outside the war
Outside the war
Outside the war
Outside the war
Don’t bring it home
This dike is ‘bout to break
And the sea is flowing, I see it coming
That fright is moving in
Hold it at bay, I hold it at bay
I tried it on today, was like I was born again
To the core, cold as the day
I tried to warn, say you’ll bring it home
Bring it home again
Now we gonna waste away
We gon’ waste away
We gon’ waste away
Now we gonna waste away
We gon’ waste away
We gon’ waste away
Outside the war
Outside the war
Outside the war
Outside the war
Don’t bring it home
I tried to warn
Don’t want to see it come in
Then there won’t be anything
Outside the war
Outside the war
Outside the war
Outside the war
Don’t bring it home
Outside the war
Outside the war
Outside the war
Outside the war
Don’t bring it home
Now we gonna waste away
We gon’ waste away
We gon’ waste away
(Outside the war)
Now we gonna waste away
We gon’ waste away
We gon’ waste away
Outside the war
Outside the war
Not anymore
Outside the war
Outside the war
Outside the war
Outside the war
Not anymore
Outside the war
Outside the war
