Текст песни: The War + перевод

She took a walk

Past rebels and boys who talk

Raised up her hand and fought

To bridge a divide

And the screen ghosts moaned

Flickered in every home

The teeth of the times grew long

And glittered with pride

'Cause the war

It isn’t out there

Like before

It isn’t out there

But they’ll show you the blood on the face of a child

And they’ll sell you your heartbreak so perfectly styled

And they’ll tell you to take your position and man the frontier

But take a look at that box on your desk

Take a look at that heart in your chest

Take a look at those thoughts in your head

The war’s already here

From sea to sea

GTA to MTV

The language of absentees

Is zeros and ones

And Orlando aches

The French Riviera shakes

That avalanche overtakes

The roar of the guns

'Cause the war

It isn’t out there

Like before

It isn’t out there

But they’ll show you the blood on the face of a child

And they’ll sell you your heartbreak so perfectly styled

And they’ll tell you to take your position and man the frontier

But take a look at that box on your desk

Take a look at that heart in your chest

Take a look at those thoughts in your head

The war’s already here

Its so easy to hide

Behind imagined Ironsides

Nostalgic and misty eyed

When the wolf’s at the door

In the tide of hate

Throw down the counterweight

Tear up that flag and say

You’re worthy of more

'Cause she took a walk

Past rhetoric and empty talk

Raised up her hand and fought

To bridge a divide

You can cut that stem

But wild flowers grow again

All you can do is just tend to them

And know that you tried
