What a Way to Win a War

My favorite son

Sent to the deep

Stones in his shoes and hands tied

And sleepin' the long sleep

Stand to my left

It's a place of honor

Strike the match through times of rain

Maybe we won't swing

So easy come, so easy go

We sharpen sticks and we throw stones

What a way to win a war

What a way to fight a battle

I've been faithful, General

But I tire of this cause

I'm with the beast

That backs the birds

Can't pick a side now, I'm not sure

This evidence I've heard

When I see a love

That croak it's tune

There in it's palace I've fought self

The future's speeding run

So easy come, so easy go

Pull out the arrow then let go

What a way to win a war

What a way to fight a battle

I've been faithful, General

What were we fighting for

What a way to win a war

What a way to fight a battle

I've been faithful, loyal, careful, General, please

What a way to win a war
