Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Too Many Stars Lyrics

Way too many stars
Way too many stripes
Far too many bagpipers bangin' on the pipes

Too many glory! hallelujah! rattled battle cries
Pass the ammunition!
Telling way too many lies

[Chorus:]
Too many alone
Too many aware
Too many- it vainly goes on over there
Too many bombs that are bursting the dreams
of the dads and the moms who now know what it means

Too many lives
Too many lost
Too many boundaries and borders've been crossed

Twenty one gunned and the bodies in bags
Done with the anthems and waived of the flags

[Chorus]

Way too many stars falling from the skies
An open invitation sent to open up their eyes
A monumental diplomatic moment that was missed
Too many make their living off it hand right over fist

Too many lives
Too many lost
Too many boundaries and borders've been crossed

Twenty one gunned and the bodies in bags
Done with the anthems and waived of the flags

[Chorus x2]
Who now know what it means [x2]
