War Lyrics by Jonatha Brooke

Plumb

0

[Verse 1]
Every morning I get up and I watch the war
Watch the war
And every morning it upstages all my favorite shows
Donahue, Hogan's Heroes

[Pre-Chorus]
It's the American way, the new world order
We hold these truths to be self-evident
In the American day, you must give and I shall take
I will tell you what is moral and what's just

[Chorus]
Because I want
Because I will
Because I can
So will I kill

[Verse 2]
Every morning I get up and I raise the flag
Salute the monument of those who gave their lives
And I guess war's okay, it's just a little inconvenient
But it's better than a video game, it's better than the movies

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause it's the American way, the new world order
We hold these truths to be self-evident
In the American day, you must give and I shall take
I will tell you what is moral and what's just

[Chorus]
Because I want
Because I will
Because I can
So will I kill

[Verse 3]
'Cause every morning I get up and I watch the war
Watch the war, watch the war
And every morning it upstages everything I know

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause it's the American way, the new world order
We hold these truths to be self-evident
In the American day, you must give and I shall take
I will tell you what is moral and what's just

[Chorus]
Because I want
Because I will
Because I can
So will I
Because I want
Because I will
Because I can
So will I

[Outro]
Oh, say can you see?
Because I can
So will I
