Outside the War

The striker's on the take
All he sees, the throne, seize the bone
That child is born again
Throw it away, they throw it away
I tried to warn, say, I tried to warn, say
We're going to war if you throw it away
I tried to warn, say, you'll bring it home
bring it home again

And we gonna waste away, we gon' waste away
We gon' waste away
And we gonna waste away, we gon' waste away
We gon' waste away

Outside the war
Outside the war
Outside the war
Outside the war, don't bring it home

This dike is 'bout to break
And the sea is flowing, I see it coming
That fright is moving in
Hold it at bay, I hold it at bay
I tried it on today, was like I was born again
To the core, cold as the day
I tried to warn, say you'll bring it home
Bring it home again

And we gonna waste away, we gon' waste away
We gon' waste away
And we gonna waste away, we gon' waste away
We gon' waste away

Outside the war
Outside the war
Outside the war
Outside the war, don't bring it home

I tried to warn
Don't want to see it come in
Then there won't be anything

Outside the war
Outside the war (then there won't, then there won't)
Outside the war (then there won't)
Outside the war, don't bring it home

Outside the war (see you're a window)
Outside the war (it blows through the window)
Outside the war (see you're a window)
Outside the war, don't bring it home (see you're a window)

And we gonna waste away, we gon' waste away
We gon' waste away (outside the war)
And we gonna waste away, we gon' waste away
We gon' waste away

Outside the war
Outside the war, not anymore
Outside the war
Outside the war

Outside the war
Outside the war, not anymore
Outside the war
Outside the war
