Young George - World War lyrics

Hook: It's a world war Going on inside of us It's my first tour So I don't really know too much About these battles and betrayals The way that you turn the tables They're saying that this'll save you But I can't see how I thought that they were fables But fighting puts you in danger I'm laying next to a stranger But I just need you now I just need you now I just need you Verse 1: As I scan the battlefield What is real anymore? All these tattered tears Running down my uniform Waiting for you to call Like looking for a unicorn It never comes and I'm absorbed In my forlorn I can't go on But it's my duty Life isn't like in the movies It's a different kind of shooting Only care when you're producing I think the truth is That we're all praying for truces We see the fighting is useless You can hear it in the music Everyone goes through it Disputes, don't know what we're doing A little bit of confusion and the foundation's in ruins So let's look at this like humans And find a better solution No jumping to conclusions We've got a common communion Hook: It's a world war Going on inside of us It's my first tour So I don't really know too much About these battles and betrayals The way that you turn the tables They're saying that this'll save you But I can't see how I thought that they were fables But fighting puts you in danger I'm laying next to a stranger But I just need you now I just need you now I just need you Verse 2: I thought we came to an understanding But you took it for granted Planned it, and then you landed In a land where you were stranded My heart's missing in action You don't know who went and captured it You're using special tactics Tracking every one of my habits Like I'm a savage Like all I do is bring damage Well, how would you manage When you're at a disadvantage Could never really be candid I gotta throw underhanded Or they wouldn't understand it The hunger of all the famished The sorrow for all the vanished The panic and all the sadness The badness and the disasters The madness and then the laughter When hope's no longer living And you don't know what you're after Don't know if there is happy But you write another chapter Hook: It's a world war Going on inside of us It's my first tour So I don't really know too much About these battles and betrayals The way that you turn the tables They're saying that this'll save you But I can't see how I thought that they were fables But fighting puts you in danger I'm laying next to a stranger But I just need you now I just need you now I just need you
