War & Altruists Lyrics


A Yawn Worth Yelling War & Altruists

Shivering with heat from the cold, they took their stances on the battlefield
Though they weren't armless, defeatedly artless
Romance spilled over barbed wire, bomb shells and empty tanks
Bulletproof yearning and purpose unswerving
Are we going home yet? We've been out here for far too long
We watched them shoeless in the war
Weapons replaced by dancing
We never saw them giving love;
They were love romancing
We watched them shirtless in the war
Comfort replaced by laughing
We never saw them giving love;
They were love romancing
Suddenly the war was over
Neither side had won at all
Unsatisfied, the victors applied to the battle next Fall
And Oh! how the war then raged, casualties from every age
They became murderous in a non-violent way
They kissed with bullets
They cheered with grenades
They danced over mines
They hugged within gas
They loved with a war
They killed with a love
