Up In Arms

if stand, fair and just

then fall, to the dust

when dead, on the ground

then rise, with the sound

there's no escape, this life is difficult

i'm eating dirt and grinning wide

red roses wilt, and violets pass away

but lonely turtles crawl inside

stop time, find a grip

rewind, pause the song

no luck, losing hand

still time, grinding on

there's no escape, this life is difficult

i'm eating dirt and grinning wide

red roses wilt, and violets pass away

but lonely turtles crawl inside

i can't help you john,

if you won't let me in;

i can't buy your love,

my wallet drained bone dry;

i can't win this war,

but it seems you're up in arms;

the desert dirt has shined

down upon the sun
