Jonathan Wilson - Now I'm Learning to Love the War lyrics

Oooh Ooh Try not to think so much about The truly staggering amount of oil that it takes to make a record All the shipping, the vinyl, the cellophane lining, the high gloss The tape and the gear Try not to become too consumed With what's a criminal volume of oil that it takes to paint a portrait The acrylic, the varnish, aluminum tubes filled with latex The solvents and dye Lets just call this what it is The gentler side of mankind's d**h wish When it's my time to go Gonna leave behind things that won't decompose Try not to dwell so much upon How it won't be so very long from now that they laugh at us for selling A bunch of 15 year olds made from dinosaur bones singing 'oh yeah' Again and again Right up to the end Lets just call this what it is The gentler side of mankind's d**h wish When it's my time to go Gonna leave behind things that won't decompose I'll just call this what it is My vanity gone wild with my crisis One day this all will repeat I sure hope they make something useful out of me
