You're different from me
All the boundaries are defined
If we keep up with these truces
One of will lose their mind
And I consciously object to your weapons detector
Hedging bets in the private sector
I don't have to salute you
But I might have to shoot you
Let's get back to the war
That's what we're here for
Back to the war
That's what we're here for
Back to the war
Those bullets in the park
Those after dark rendezvous
Somebody has to bleed
As someone draws a bead on you
And it keeps you on your toes, all these innocent gophers
Taking orders in their penny loafers
I could change my position
But you just never listen
Let's get back to the war
That's what we're here for
Back to the war
Bombs away, as they say
I'm not about to pay membership dues
I've got this dynamite
I know you're sitting tight, waiting for news
Well I'm lighting the fuse
While you were on vacation
I was stationed at the line
You think we've normalized
Well I'm surprised you're so blind
As you traffic in the bucks of the recent reconstruction
This ain't no drill team I'm conducting
You can make your decision
Or watch it on television
But let's get back to the war
That's what we're here for
Back to the war
Let's get back to the war
That's what we're here for
Back to the war
