Line them up make them stand
Let the people countermand
Reaching for the upper hand
Casting lots to rule the fairyland

War is love, war is hell

And in our minds we will never know
Was it a show
And the magic gets stronger that keeps us from seeing in

Start the clock fire the gun
I'll wait to see who will outrun
Feeding on comparison
Plastic faces stand up to the sun

And in our minds we will never know
Was it a show
And the magic gets stronger that keeps us from seeing in

Perfect tie perfect hair
Perfect coach perfect stare
Perfect speech perfect flair
Perfect chill perfect scare
So I'm glad that its not me
Who has the ring or holds the key
Or has to call the family
Or makes a mark on all eternity

And in our minds we will never know
Was it a show
And the magic gets stronger that keeps us from seeing it

War is love war is hell
