Born into a fight An inherited war Born to children left over from wars before wars and the wars before You do see a pattern right Yet somehow our love doesn't die What do we do With this history now Do we go in like a surgeon Do we go in like a bomb How do we dismantle the sorrow and rage And pick up our scars off the ground Those girls and boys who died and lived for us So we could speak and love and be with you now You do see a pattern right Yet somehow our love doesn't die What do we do With this history now Do we go in like a surgeon Do we go in with boots on the ground What do we do With this history now Do we go in like a surgeon Do we go in like a bomb Will you help me dismantle the sorrow And dig up the stars off the ground Those girls and boys who died and lived for us So we could speak and love and be with you So we could speak and love and be with you So we could speak and love and be with you now
