A War Called Home Lyrics
We are the last remains
We are the bridge over troubled water
We are the renegades
We are awake to what's going on
I was the son of a police man
Who's father's truth was lost in vietnam
One nation believed
While the tv set killed Kennedy
And screamed god is dead
Come sing along with me
A song that can't be wrong
We are the last remains that carry on
We are the bombs that rain
Upon the ones that turned to wrong
We are the oil fields
That'll burn till our hope is gone
So raise the flag and prey on everything gone wrong
In CEO we trust to carry on
We are the break down
Come on and get down
Forever young, come and tear this shit down
To write a story, a long story
To be the ones that'll change direction
Cause I've been asleep too long
And I can't remember how I got so numb
To what's going on
We need no hand grenades
No machine guns to make us strong
We are the every day
They got armies well we've got ours
So sing along with me
We are the beating heart
That pumps the blood through veins that carry me on
So put your flag down
Come on and get down
We are the ones that'll tear this shit down
To write a story, a history
Without bombs or religious glory
Cause we've been asleep too long
With no real answer to how it got this far
Tonight I will not close my eyes
How can we ever sleep again
How can we ever sleep the same
How can we ever sleep the same
We are the bridge over troubled water
We are the renegades
We are awake to what's going on
Who's father's truth was lost in vietnam
One nation believed
While the tv set killed Kennedy
And screamed god is dead
A song that can't be wrong
We are the last remains that carry on
Upon the ones that turned to wrong
We are the oil fields
That'll burn till our hope is gone
In CEO we trust to carry on
Come on and get down
Forever young, come and tear this shit down
To write a story, a long story
To be the ones that'll change direction
And I can't remember how I got so numb
To what's going on
No machine guns to make us strong
We are the every day
They got armies well we've got ours
We are the beating heart
That pumps the blood through veins that carry me on
Come on and get down
We are the ones that'll tear this shit down
To write a story, a history
Without bombs or religious glory
With no real answer to how it got this far
How can we ever sleep again
How can we ever sleep the same
How can we ever sleep the same

Awesome song
Awesome song
My favorite strung out song, such powerful lyrics. About how fucked this country has become and how most of us are still asleep in a sense that we don't realize the corruption and tyranny going on behind the lies our government and media feed us,"Cause we've been asleep too long With no real answer to how it got this far". "We are the break down" signifies that our generation will be the one to tear down the current system and change direction. "So put your flag down" means that we need forget nationalism and political platforms to unite against our current system."How can we ever sleep the same", we can never feel false security again, now that we are awake.
Some of these lyrics are wrong. Second stanza should go:
I was a son of the promised land Whose father's youth was lost in Vietnam One nation believed all the TV said Killed Kennedy and screamed "God is dead!"
Probably my favorite lines in the song, too.
