World War Lyrics by Brightly

The Greylings

2013

[Verse 1]
I swear you were spitting venom
I guess I was pretty drunk
You kept saying that you loved me
I kept saying, "That's enough"

[Refrain]
And all the while, the band just marched right on
And all the while, we hummed two different songs

[Verse 2]
You told me you were angry
You swore I buried all your hurt
While I dug a little deeper
Until I swallowed all the dirt

[Refrain]
And all the while, our bones they turn to dust
And all the while, our friends just drift from us

[Chorus]
But we'll be so happy
You'll find Jesus and then you'll tell me
Let's just wait for some World War
And all our problems will be taken care of
So why would you fight for me?
You'd be so happy, so right, so complete
And you swore I could never be
I read the book, baby

[Chorus]
So we'll be so happy
You'll go to heaven and you, you won't invite me
So I guess I'll wait for that World War
'Cause what more do I have to wait for?
So why would you fight for me?
You say you've got solutions like I've got collusions
And I know you do not trust me
I read the book, baby
