You Want a War Lyrics by Ryan Kopperud

Twenty Dirt

2014

[Verse 1: Ryan Kopperud]
Toe taggin’, no bandwagon
No swag, my bag black magic
Bad habit, skeleton attic
Red pill, blue pill, Alice, rabbit
Back at it, hackin’ saw
One up, dumb down, blast off
My trend I’m tryin’ to abuse
We too could use them views
It’s fine, we double-time
We speak it, they don’t rhyme
No diss and no mistake
Killa' California, Minnesota way
And I’m a good guy just a sinner for today
I been at it for a minute, now I’m finally gettin’ played
It's crazy, the time made me
I’m impatient, try to save me
[Pre-Chorus: The van Gobots]
Look around, think you’ll finally see
What we found, all your misery
It’s a lie, you're a fake
Newer image, same mistakes
It’s no wonder we can’t get along
But your girl loves all my songs
And she was there at all my shows
No, I can’t help but take another chance
[Chorus: Ryan Kopperud]
Make sure your heart keeps beatin’, and your feet do the speakin’
If you lost your way back home, follow that beacon
I never, met a cold drink I didn’t like
At least we got company, if only for the night
Got a lotta good friends, a lotta good years
Knocked a lotta boots, whispered in a lotta ears
If I said it then I meant it, and I mean it, that’s that
It’s a heavy backpack, but we keep drivin’ past the laugh track
[Verse 2: Ryan Kopperud]
Yeah, weet jesus, ashes phoenix
Resurrection, next to leave us
We mean it, please believe it
Teethin’ creepin’ sneakin’, beat it
Lasso, be back soon
After yakkin’ in your bathroom
Surprise, no goodbyes
Splittin’ wraps, or splittin’ pies
Peace to the people, who stay see-through
Transparent, heir to the throne, no equal
That’s the game
To be honest, we forgot to pray
We barely make it through our nights
And make a couple bills to play
And we’re daily wearin’ capes
Savin’ that money that we made, now let’s go
[Pre-Chorus: The van Gobots]
Look around, think you’ll finally see
What we found, all your misery
It’s a lie, you're a fake
Newer image, same mistakes
It’s no wonder we can’t get along
But your girl loves all my songs
And she was there at all my shows
No, I can’t help but take another chance
[Chorus: Ryan Kopperud]
Make sure your heart keeps beatin’, and your feet do the speakin’
If you lost your way back home, just follow the beacon
I never, met a cold drink I didn’t like
At least we got company, if only for tonight
Got a lotta good friends, had a lotta good years
Knocked a lotta boots, whispered in a lotta ears
If I said it then I meant, and I promise that’s that
It’s a heavy backpack, but we keep drivin’ past the laugh track
[Outro: The van Gobots]
Someone once told me 'listen close to this'
Life gets harder every day, and should you choose to resist
Just don't leave 'em any press to tie back to you
There is more than waitin' in line, but I think you get the view
It's sunny in the days, then it get cloudy in the afternoon
Start to see a civil lie, and hum to a different tune, yeah
And everything always works out right
A few vices might suffice to sail me home through the storm tonight
