lyrics

we got a war in the city
we got a war in the country
war in the city
got a war in the country

you divide the laws
and you come with no cause
your pushing down your friends
because they've come to mean an end
for the day that your trying
now were watching you lying
was the front that you played
worth the graves that we laid

for the victims that cried all know that you lied
back to the truth but you bugged every booth
chilling in the country just shootin' them when they move
as life goes on we've been pickin' up the clues

we got a war in the city
we got a war in the country
war in the city
got a war in the country

you gotta look at all the people
look at, look at all the faces
you gotta look at all the people
look at, look at all the faces

people followed you because they had no clue
of all the evil things a person can do
you planned the bait and switch
while you singled out your niche
to gain all the trust of a nation in two
don't divide the red from the white and the blue
was their fire in the sky or was it burning in your eyes
you devise the size of the worlds new demise.

we got a war in the city
we got a war in the country
war in the city
got a war in the country

you gotta look at all the people
look at, look at all the faces
you gotta look at all the people
look at, look at all the faces
