War Machine Lyrics by Koethe

When Are We?

2018

[Verse 1]
Pardon me if I rant
But there's something I must get off my mind
Well, I’m not a heartless man
But I’ve got no sympathy for your kind
You’ll force your views on me
When it's not your fucking place to decide
You’ll build your war machine
And you’ll drag us all along for the ride

[Chorus]
I know I’m better off dead, but I’ve never felt so alive
Look me in the eyes it's our time to rise
Don’t let it go there's just a minute of time
If you’re on our side shout out in reply
“Nobody here is gonna take me alive”

[Verse 1]
Well, I’m no criminal
But I’ve stolen my fair share of the light
Not to be egotistical
But you already know that I’m right
You’ll break away just to break away now
All the breakers look alike
So hold your tongue and trust me, son
I’m not the one you wanna fight

[Chorus]
I know I’m better off dead, but I’ve never felt so alive
Look me in the eyes it's our time to rise
Don’t let it go there's just a minute of time
If you’re on our side shout out in reply
“Nobody here is gonna take me alive, take me alive”

[Outro]
Look me in the eyes it's our time to rise
Don’t let it go there's just a minute of time
If you’re on our side shout out in reply
“Nobody here is gonna take me alive”
