Lyrics

Wargasm

[Intro: Billy Strings]

See it coming everywhere I look

It's falling down like rain

Kill a man over a sentence in a book

And collect a reward for his pain

Such a failing situation

And I'm sick of looking at it anywhere I go

Let 'em talk and send their hate and stick to war again

Like it's the only thing we know

[Chorus: Billy Strings]

So what's the reason for this again?

Right back where we've always been

These excuses are wearing thin

So, what's the reason for this again?

What's the reason for this again?

Can't decide, but you've got to win

We're all the same, but you're not my friend

So, what's the reason for this again?

[Verse 1: Billy Strings]

Same shit, different century

Here we go again

It's no parade, seeing tanks on your street

What's the mission?

When's it gonna end?

How many stones do we have to line up

Before we understand?

Caught up, drawing lines on a paper

At the price of the blood in the sand

[Chorus: Billy Strings]

So what's the reason for this again?

Right back where we've always been

These excuses are wearing thin

So what's the reason for this again?

What's the reason for this again?

You can't decide, but you've got to win

We're all the same, but you're not my friend

So what's the reason for this again?

[Verse 2: Billy Strings]

Step into the grinder with your brother tomorrow

And kiss your mother goodbye

She'll wipe her tears with your ribbons

And then they'll replace you in the blink of an eye

So bite the bullet and boots on the ground

These ain't sticks and stones

Flicking matches at a powder keg

While you're standing on a pile of bones

[Chorus: Billy Strings]

What's the reason for this again?

Can't decide, but you've got to win

We're all the same, but you're not my friend

So what's the reason for this again?

[Verse 3: RMR]

You're the reason I've been going psycho

It's too ugly, still can't keep my eyes closed

You're cold, I still need your touch though

Probably wake up and still hate you tomorrow

What's the reason you never wanna conversate?

What's the reason you never want to stay and wait?

Fumbling all your words like you're afraid of me

But I'm the one with the knife stuck in my back again

Call my phone, I decline, you're the reason why

We don't love in sequence, you're not even mine

Show another display, count how many times

You can't have it your way, sacrifice my pride

[Chorus: Billy Strings]

So what's the reason for this again?

Right back where we've always been

These excuses are wearing thin

So what's the reason for this again?

What's the reason for this again?

Can't decide, but you've got to win

We're all the same, but you're not my friend

So what's the reason for this again?

[Outro: Billy Strings]

What's the reason for this again?

What's the reason for this again?

What's the reason for this?
