Everywhere is War
[Verse 1]
8/11/2016
They're lighting torches in the sticks
Sayin' we won't be replaced
I got to get the fuck out of this place
I'd take my bag and head out
But there ain't nowhere I can run
I saw the dashes on the tombstone slate
And I knew, no matter where I go
We got the same fate

[Chorus]
Sometimes I can't recall
Exactly what we're fighting for
I'm sure that you have heard it all before
Everywhere is war
Everywhere is war
Teach me how to play the game of politics
And death and sex and drugs and fame and

[Post-Chorus]
Do it all again
(Do it all again)
Do it all again (Do it all again)
(Do it all again)
(D-Do it all again)
[Verse 2]
They put a bullet in the head
Of the empathetic kid
And those bastards die old on a toilet of gold
And a castle that's built on sin
How?

[Chorus]
Sometimes I can't recall
Exactly what we're fighting for
I'm sure that you have heard it all before
Everywhere is war
Everywhere is war
Teach me how to play the game of politricks
And death and sex and drugs and fame and
Sometimes I can't recall
Exactly what I'm fighting for
I'm sure that you have heard it all before
Everywhere is war (Everywhere is war)
Everywhere is war (Everywhere is war)
Teach me how to play the game of politics
And death and sex and drugs and fame and

[Post-Chorus]
Do it all again
Do it all again
And do it all again
And do it all again
[Outro]
This could be 1980, 1880, 18 AD
Any time at all
Any time at all
Now that vanity's a virtue
This could be 1980, 1880, 18 AD
Any time at all (Any time at all)
Now that vanity's a virtue (Any time at all)
And hate is back in style
