Warfare from Birdcage by Charles Otis

WARFARE

It's quiet on the left
and screaming on the right again
A noble hand turns to a fist
to strike the ground again
If we choose to fall in step to bare their joke again
Are we just clowns in their parade with torches set to

All come shoulder to shoulder
to bludgeon those wolves back into their dens
Lean in remember your power
THEIR warfare isn't YOUR reason to live

The cost of life
The cost of death
is far too dear to spend
People work until they're dead
no glory at the end
Cronies in the halls
sup upon the blood we shed
Step yee down from the pyre set a flame to

too long in suffering, makes the heart a stone
too long in suffering, makes the heart a stone
too long in suffering, makes the heart a stone
a stone

All come saints and sinners
the welcome wagon is leaving at 10
Heathens and evil doers
are making their deals and living in sin

We're all just waiting for the simple life that we've paid in
Just when it's time to live, the fucking walls come tumbling in
Is this a joke or do I wait for them to pull the pin
Spare me the pain, please just tell me.

(SOLO)

All come shoulder to shoulder
to bludgeon those wolves back into their dens
Lean in remember your power
THEIR warfare isn't YOUR reason to live
