Knocking at Your Front Door

Verse 1
I had a dream the world was burning
No one cared, the earth kept turning
My voice went hoarse from trying to scream
They told me, “Don’t believe your eyes,
These things are never what they seem.”
Well, something’s really mad about a rapist
With his one hand on a young girl’s body
The other’s bound to bomb a country,
Firing up his Nazi party
Oh, don’t you think it’s Godly?
Chorus
You say you want war?
Well, we’re knocking at your front door
And oh Lord
You’ve sewn division, sold religion,
Traded slavery for prison systems
You want war?
Well, we’re knocking at your front door
Verse 2
Said, “Hey, did you just hear that sound
Of bullets ripping children down?”
They’re loading up another round
Run kids, lock them doors, don’t fear
Congress sends their thoughts and their prayers
Chorus
You say you want war?
Well, we’re knocking at your front door
And oh Lord
You’ve sewn division, sold religion,
Traded slavery for prison systems
You want war?
Well, we’re knocking at your front door
Bridge
The rich get high off their pollution
Left, right, there’s no real solutions
Just disillusioned institutions
Prostituting mass confusion
While burning down the Constitution
Go beg your God for absolution
We’re ready for a revolution
Chorus
You say you want war?
Well, we’re knocking at your front door
And oh Lord
You’ve sewn division, sold religion,
Traded slavery for prison systems
You want war?
Well, now we’re right outside
And you can run, but you can’t hide
