Kimbra - The Good War Lyrics
Official




We fumbled around
Pushing stones through the mesh
We reap 'cause we sow
It's so sewn to the flesh
I had to dream in monochrome
A lie that they've spun
I think I hear heaven calling me home
We're like poised from the sun

Two lives, later I'll find
Everybody's comin' 'round here
Raise arms, I've got a hand to call mine
I'm still out to find my peace of mind

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

We fumble around
Pushing homes from the nest
We're too far to be found, fighting in the good war
I had to speak at protocol
Biting my tongue
Sometimes I hear hell calling me home
Yeah, I know, it's such a lie we spin

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

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