The Good War (reimagined) Songtext
von Kimbra

We fumble around, pushing stones through the mesh
We reap as we sow, but so sown to the flesh
I had to dream in monochrome, a lie that they spun
Think I hear heaven calling me home when light pours from the sun

Two lives later, I′ll find
Everybody's gone ′round here
We raise arms but ain't got a hand to call mine
I'm still out to find my peace of mind


I′m running on a heartbeat, I can feel it in my blood flow
Eyes up when they call me ′cause we're fighting in a good war
So send me off with a Godspeed, and I′ll slip through the backdoor
You and I are gonna die free 'cause we′re fighting in a good war

We fumble around, pushing homes from the nest
We're too far to be found (′cause we're fighting in a good war)
Yeah, I had to speak in protocol, biting my tongue
Sometimes I hear hell calling me home, yeah, but I know it's such a lie we spun

I′m running on a heartbeat, I can feel it in my blood flow
Eyes up when they call me ′cause we're fighting in a good war
So send me off with a Godspeed, and I′ll slip through the backdoor
You and I are gonna die free 'cause we′re fighting in a good war


I'm running on a heartbeat, I can feel it in my blood flow
Eyes up when they call me ′cause we're fighting in a good war
So send me off with a Godspeed, and I'll slip through the backdoor
You and I are gonna die free ′cause we′re fighting in a good war
