[Intro]
We got the symptoms of a cold war
All of our troubles are make-believe
We're dying on our own soil
Calling your friends, armed to the teeth
There's nothing for you, nothing for me
Nothing for sale, nothing for free
You wanna take my life and fade away

[Pre-Chorus]
Take my life and fade away
Take my life and fade away

[Chorus]
Take my life and fade away
Hold the line, don't forget
Taking arms is taking heads
(Taking arms is taking heads)
Hold the line, don't forget
Taking arms is taking heads
(Taking arms is taking heads)

Take my life and fade away

[Pre-Chorus]
Take my life and fade away
Take my life and fade away
[Chorus]
Take my life and fade away
Hold the line, don't forget
Taking arms is taking heads
(Taking arms is taking heads)
Hold the line, don't forget
Taking arms is taking heads
(Taking arms is taking heads)

Take my life and fade away

[Outro]
We got the symptoms of a cold war
All of our troubles are make-believe
We're dying on our own soil
Calling your friends, armed to the teeth
There's nothing for you, nothing for me
Nothing for sale, nothing for free
You wanna take my life and fade away
