"World War" lyrics

I once thought everything was in a story
That someone higher was writing down
And if I could get high enough, I'd read the answer
But I don't think that now

I once thought time was like an ocean
There was room enough to sail away into
And some of the things that I've been saying lately, I'm sorry if they're scaring you

Na, na, na
Na, na, na
La, la, la
I would go outside, I would go out
But it's a world war
I don't respect your reasons
I don't respect your time
You think there is no author to blame, you'd be a fool in the courtyard
Again, and again, and again

I used to think that everything that happened was a story
Someone was writing down and if I could just read it all
I'd get to see it all together
Just as clear as the morning sun
[?]
You are a fool till the day you die

Knew since I was born I'd be a singer
They said, "you could be anything you can see
Anything that you think of can be made to happen"
But it just wasn't the good things
If anyone here is uncertain
Of what they're hearing from their mind
I'm here to tell you that you're in good company
We're going to tear this place apart
