This Is War

Well, freedom yawns and bites the land

This hand is mine, feel its span

You'll give it up

To my all-encompassing arms

I'll hate you so good like a hero should

I'm here

Yes, the one you've waited for (All your life)

Knock you out and up

This is war

I'm here

Yes, the answer to all your prayers at gunpoint

Knock you out and up

This is war

You're all the talk on NPR

Your sound is shooting up our pop charts

I'm fairly pure of heart

And you're Rudolph Valentino

I hate you so hard, I'm seeing stars

And now you say

I'm here

Yes, the one you've waited for (All your life)

Knock you out and up

This is war

I'm here

Yes, the answer to all your prayers at gunpoint

Knock you out and up

This is war

War

War

I am working the knife shift

I am working the knife shift

Work that shift

Shift that knife

I am first on the knife shift
