war (mth)

[Intro]

Why your older brother had volunteered for the Navy, in 1939

But, uh, I think he got caught very much like so many of the other people

That got caught in this (no more) recent Gulf War (Navy)

He joined the Navy to (at war) go to college, go to school (yeah yeah)

Navy, these hands are torn

Navy at war, no more

I can't do it no more

[Verse]

Mama and my sister had my back when I went the wrong way

When I went the wrong way

Mama told me, boy don't change

Yeah, said boy don't change

All this pain in my heart had to come from you

It was all or nothing, met you all the way around like the circumference

When I need money, always call on me cause I won't plummet

Youth gettin' hard to stomach

Uh, I will never fall, that's a god damn lie cause I learned from you

Anxious when I'm out in public

Sad I couldn't see my cousin

I swear I mask all the fear, I'm huggin'

How my father is, know I learn this scholarship

Hard to focus when my sister keep wallowing, checkin' in my Wallabees

Many souls on my feet, live, die, and repeat

It's been hard to eat

My fear follow me, it was all but a dream

Um, dreams and reality

[Outro]

I just want to know, if we were to die

Will you be alone or will I be by your side, baby?

Yeah, will I be by your side, baby?

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

No more
