"Save The War" lyrics

"Save The War"

Let's save our arms, knives, tanks and guns
Let's put them in the shed until we fight a war not based on assumption
Let's save our bombs and set our sights on
Faith-based initiatives that only work for some

We need to save the war for something worth our lives
Let's spend some time stopping blatant gay hate crimes
We need to keep the war reserved for something big
Like religious zealots that wanna murder gay kids

How do you find that you'll prevent suicide
By telling a teenage lesbian to go find Jesus?
One love. One people. That's what we need
But we're focusing on all the wrong things
Besides, fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity

We need to save the war for something worth our lives
Let's spend some time stopping blatant gay hate crimes
We need to keep the war reserved for something big
Like religious zealots that wanna murder gay kids

We cannot stand for this
I can't believe we're gonna let 'em kill the kids

We need to save the war for something worth our lives
Like Commissions Acts rescinding all our rights
We need to keep the war reserved for something big
Not just trying to put the fear into the kids

We need to save the war
We need to save the war
We gotta save we gotta save we gotta save the war
We need to save the war
We need to save the war
We gotta save we gotta save we gotta save the war

Holy fuck! Oh good lord!
Oh my god! Oh my god!
Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh God! Oh God! Oh no!
Holy fuck! Oh good lord!
Oh my god! Oh my god!
Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh God! Oh God! Oh... no!
