I wake in the morning, eyes open They burn like they've never been closed Heart beats loud like a thousand drums Mother, will I explode? War is hell, our civil one War is hell, be civil love, and... Leave me never to wound you Find me when calm comes to you And hold me in your arms This civil war of ours I leave from the city at 7 or 8 And listen to talk radio All of the stories so familiar Mother, will I explode? Back to my town where the wolves are waiting Priming away in the dusk Every hour contemplating Love, trust, anger, lust War is hell, our civil one War is hell, be civil love and... Leave me never to wound you Find me when calm comes to you And hold me in your arms This civil war of ours And hold me in your arms This civil war of ours Leave me never to wound you Find me when calm comes to you And hold me in your arms This civil war of ours... And hold me in your arms This civil war of ours This civil war of ours
