lyrics

The War stays raging. I stay pacing
You keep smiling and I’ll keep buying
Life keeps speeding, proceeding,
Propelling me forward again
This world wasn't made for you and me
It was made for people we ain’t never gonna’ see
And we may work real hard and work real fast
But here's the key:
As soon as we're done the moment will have passed

You you sing to me, baby
You sing the whole night through
You sing to me baby
You never understood

I'm working, traversing fourteen hour days
Building platforms for your theater of war
We race and trace, retrace and re-race.
The ground you penetrated with bombs and blasts
Fears and whores for miles
But after it all will I still be the place you call home?

You sing to me, baby
You sing the whole night through
You sing to me baby
You never understood

You never understood
I worked all night and I worked all day
To build the bomb that blew you away
And here's the key:
I did finish and you did die
But the war we're raging isn’t worth paying with our lives

You sing to me, baby
You sing the whole night through
You sing to me baby
You never understood
