Love And War lyrics
All is fair in love and we're in love
Now that everybody's dead we can finally talk
Can vanity and happiness coexist?
All the lovers we've taken in direct view of the enemy
And we shift each other's body to accept the bullet
And continue the pleasure
The treasures of battle
It's only for the wounded, the purple-hearted
Why must you try to ruin my peace of mind?
And they were only words and I never meant them
I never loved you
Even in my weakness
You were fuel for the fire - cannon fodder
And my grandpa drank, fell, and broke his face in two
When the cops arrived, he exclaimed, "I fought in World War II"
And then carried him to darkened hospital room
And said, "No modern person here remembers you
And we can't identify the enemy
And it could be you so it'll cost you"
And it only cost me my wife
And my job
Now what?
And my mom and I went to identify the body
And I wanted to see but she wouldn't let me
I had to wait for the military cemetery
And when we got there this is what she said to me
"Love and war, in heaven and in hell
You get what you deserve
You'd better spend it well
All is fair in love and war and love
A civil war like this it always sells itself"
