World War

[Verse 1]

I once thought everything was in a story

That someone higher was writing down

And if I could get high enough, I'd read the answer

But I don't think that now

[Verse 2]

I once thought time was like an ocean

There was room enough to sail away into

And some of the things that I've been saying lately

I'm sorry if they're scaring you

[Chorus]

Na, na, na

Na, na, na

La, la, la

I would go outside, I would go out

But it's a world war

I don't respect your reasons

I don't respect your time

You think there is no author to blame, you'd be a fool in the courtyard

Again, and again, and again

[Break]

I used to think that everything that happened was a story someone was writing down, and if I could just read it all, I'd get to see it all together

Just as clear as the morning sun

Writing down, if I could just hold on

You are thicker than the water

You are a fool 'til the day you die

[?]

They said, "we are made of stick and stone, and we will never leave you again"

[Outro]

Knew since I was born I'd be a singer

They said, "you could be anything you can see

Anything that you think of can be made to happen"

But it just wasn't the good things

If anyone here is uncertain

Of what they're hearing from their mind

I'm here to tell you that you're in good company

We're going to tear this place apart
