The Used - The Quiet War lyrics

Selfish repulsive uniform I march in line to the drums of the corps Regurgitated Disgusted am I just a brick in the wall With courage naked to the veil The flood that carved the canyon walls The mountains never holds her breath We need a different kind of war Was two in 1984 Big brother the actor you voted for Democracy’s slogan Protecting the walls of the capitalists With courage naked to the veil The flood that carved the canyon walls The mountains never holds her breath We need a different kind of war Let’s use love like a knife try to cut through the surface Love can break through the ice when you’re fighting a different kind of war Let’s use love like a knife try to cut through the surface Love can break through the ice when we’re fighting a different war War of understanding War of understanding War of understanding I’ve got a lot to say so I’ll try to talk fast Everything I ever learned I learned from the past Soliloquies slowly clearly straight from my heart so you hear me Owe you my life Mr Chomsky Taught me to read Stephen king’d me With borrowed mouth do I breath I was the river With courage naked to the veil The flood that carved the canyon walls The mountains never holds her breath We need a different kind of war Let’s use love like a knife try to cut through the surface Love can break through the ice when you’re fighting a different kind of war Let’s use love like a knife try to cut through the surface Love can break through the ice when we’re fighting a different war War of understanding War of understanding War of understanding
