Karl Blau Poor The War Away
Let me lessen all the guessin'
Let me know the score
Let me settle in the nettle
Make me hope for more
Make me holler
Make me call her
Make me feel my way
Let me tend her on a bender
Lady Liberty
At the roots, we shared our boots
Now we choose our shoes
Now we make the bed we lie in
Now we lie in our sleep
Wake me, brother, from my senses
Help me come to terms
Across the desert, in our dreams
We count our chickens and burns
Why is there this war to stay
If we keep it fed in May?
Why is there this war today?
Poor the war away
Why is there this war to stay
If we keep it fed in May?
Natural in the children's play
But they're the first to say
Poor the war away
Unconscious since 1996
Just trippin' on this woman
And the baby's in the crib
What kind of a world do I want my girls in?
Not by the hair of his chinny chin chin
We got the ego to more than get by
Make our differences pieces of the pie
I say as I sigh, just one more piece to make anyone cry
People walk in fear's shadow
People walk holes too, you know
People need hate in their soul
Like they need a hole
People walk in fear's shadow
People walk holes too, you know
People need hate in their soul
Like they need a hole
Like a brand new hole
Get ready
Get ready with confetti
Pick your Ro Sham Bo
Get your honey while it's sunny
Golden rivers flow
Lose your crown and pass it down
And down and down some truth
As you're drinking from the fountain
Do you need more proof?
What is fed will grow up healthy and strong
What is sheltered may not know right from wrong
(?)
As I ate my surroundings
I slipped into a dream
Milky Way here to stay
Till I sipped it like cream
Mirror of stars, contemplating our state
Hear the hungry howl of the beast
With the sunshine plate
You don't want to be food
You don't want to be rude
Walk into his lair
Why is war?
Why is poor?
(Hear a voice call, "Next")
Why is there this war to stay
If we keep it fed in May?
Why is there this war today?
Poor the war away
Why is there this war to stay
If we keep it fed in May?
Natural in the children's play
But they're the first to say
Poor the war away
War (away)
Poor
Why is there this war?
Poor the war away
War
Poor
War
