we all love American girls when they're dreaming and everyone enjoys their lives lovers chase the rain with an empty water can and diligence shuts their eyes we gotta finish our boats now before the tide comes in what a pleasant distraction from the outcome of this world that we live in this is our war, so don't lose it this is our only chance, so don't let it pa** through your eyes there's a choir singing da da da da da da da this is our war, so don't lose it this is our second chance, so don't let it pa** through your eyes there's a choir singing da da da da da da da this is our war we all love kids who can play in the cities and how no one could feel more alive trading off toys for sun gla**es that can cover another black eye we gotta finish our drinks now before the tide comes in what a pleasant distraction from the outcome of these cities we lived in battling is bound to leave blood on the ground this war is a choir and this choir has a sound da da da da da da da
