David Byrne - The Civil Wars lyrics

rate me

I got a right to be out on my mind

I got a right to be who I am

Love melove my problems

The good times and the rotten

The war is in methe war is in you

The war is in everybody now

Shake this toneout of control

They are fightin' with knives and forks

Demonstrating how democracy works

God's good and God is great

So I wear my happy face

The war is in youthe war is in me

The war is in everybody now

The wolf is loosehe's living in you

There'll be a celebration

Johnny comes marching home

His eyes are on the ceiling

It ain't no fashion show

A heavy situation

Does things to your skin

Although it ain't no party

Dying to get in

Sex is something if it's looking good

A ceasefire in the neighbourhood

We bleed and stain the carpet

We start our own republic

The war is in methe war is in you

The war is in everybody now

The greatest look

In heaven above

There'll be a celebration

Johnny comes marching home

His eyes are on the ceiling

It ain't no fashion show

A heavy situation

Does things to your skin

Although it ain't no party

Dying to get in
