Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ready or not
[Verse 2]
Summon everything you've got
All your forces under the sun
Put the call up into the sky
I'll take you one by one by one
[Verse 3]
Come on and take me on
Come on and take me on
Come on and take me on
Come on and take me on
[Verse 4]
Your words are like throwing stones
Skipping across my skin
Take a warm look at what has gone before
There's no way you will ever win
[Verse 5]
Come on and take me on
Come on and take me on
Come on and take me on
Come on and take me on
[Verse 6]
'Cause when the war is over
The fight is done
Well, I'll be lying in the sun
[Verse 7]
Yeah, when the war is over
The fight is done
Well, I'll be lying in the sun
[Verse 8]
The sun's the only one who sleeps
I can hear everything you say
There's a small piece of earth between you and me
We can play fight or we can play
[Verse 9]
Come on and take me on
Come on and take me on
Come on and take me on
Come on and take me on
[Verse 10]
'Cause when the war is over
The fight is done
Well, I'll be lying in the sun
[Verse 11]
Yeah, when the war is over
The fight is done
Well, I'll be lying in the sun
[Verse 12]
When the war is over
The fight is done
I'll be lying in the sun
[Verse 13]
Yeah, when the war is over
The fight is done
Well, I'll be lying in the sun
[Verse 14]
When the war is over
The fight is done
We'll be lying in the sun
[Verse 15]
Yeah, when the war is over
The fight is done
We'll be lying in the sun
