Arms for Hostages / Country at War (demo)

[Arms for Hostages]

Our ships passed in the day

And our stars crossed in the night

You’ve said, “Paradise, is only far.”

Oh, no, we will surely fall

Don’t look, don’t look, don’t look down

I saw a Hornet and an F-15 Eagle

I saw a Tomcat fly over the rainbow

That must mean arms are for hugging

Wait, don’t shoot. I’m only kidding

Don’t look, don’t look, don’t look down

Shit, it was painful crashing through those branches

When you fall in love you take your chances

I realize that you can’t fly, but sometimes I idealize you

Fly fly

Just hold on to my hand

Please just look into my eyes

Don’t look, don’t look, don’t look down

Don’t look, don’t look, don’t look down

[Country at War]

The wind still blows

God knows how many people are buying tuxedos

People still washin’ cars

Could this be a country at war?

Leaves turn green, the fever breaks

Leaders never confess their hate

Even alone under the stars

Could this be a country at war?

Could this be a country at war?

Spit still hits the sidewalk

Someone still irons his ties

People still hardly wait in bars

Could this be a country at war?

Could this be a country at war?

Could this be a country at war?

I try to love this country, but it’s turned its back

On its sick and hungry, its tired and poor

This must be a country at war

This must be a country at war

Freeway palm trees blazing, TV stations pick up ratings

People out looting stores

This must be a country at war

This must be a country at war

This must be a country at war
