lyrics

A gun to shoot, uniform to wear
There's no such thing as fashion in this place
Blood in the water, blood in the air
Dirt on his hands, dirt on his face

War songs, war songs, war songs, war songs

A desperate substitute for peace
strums of a guitar lying on his bed
Right now, there's not much else that's his own
with just the songs lost in his head

War songs, war songs, war songs, war songs

Somehow a cassette, songs he'd sent home
streamed through music blogs, trendy web pages
became a top internet download
when word of mouth sang his praises

nursery rhymes
war songs, war songs
odes to sunlight
war songs, war songs
just holding hands in the dark
war songs, war songs
looking for his gentle heart


An author's mind might make him a star
champagne always filling his coffee cup
or could cry at his tragic death
but no one knows how he ended up

A gun to shoot
uniform to wear
a gun to shoot, uniform to wear

Tommy Stevens New York, New York

I guess my life has been pretty uneventful, except for that time I was on a field trip with my high school science class and was bitten by a radioactive spider.

Oh, also, I played at CBGB once. That was pretty cool.
