"Call Me When You Win The War" lyrics
When the sky ain't blue
And the bills ain't due
And the pigs fly away on a big balloon
When the cake ain't sweet
And the sun don't heat
And my mama don't love me no more
Call me when you win the war
When the dog don't bark
And the knife ain't sharp
And the stove ain't hot
And the night ain't dark
When the fire don't smoke
And the boat don't float
And they finally go and tell you what for
Call me when you win the war
10 days, 12 days, 20 days thrown away
20 years, 30 years doesn't matter anyway
No matter where you're going
One down, two down, domino the whole town
Mind blown, headstone flags up on the mantle
No matter where you've been
Well, it never gets better
The shape I'm in
When the seas dry up
And they pour them in a cup
Slap a big sticker on 'em, sell it back to us
When they invent a way of living, that a person can afford
When hell freezes over, and there ain't no chores
Call me when you win the war
When they cure the cold
And fill the potholes in the road
When they're honest by the promise
That we all been told
When the checks on time
And the blame ain't mine
And the killing just makes them bored
Call me when you win the war
When the wind don't blow
And the snow ain't cold
And the stars don't shine
And the time goes slow
When the birds don't chirp
And the worms quit dirt
And the rooster don't crow in the morn
Call me when you win the war
And the bills ain't due
And the pigs fly away on a big balloon
When the cake ain't sweet
And the sun don't heat
And my mama don't love me no more
Call me when you win the war
When the dog don't bark
And the knife ain't sharp
And the stove ain't hot
And the night ain't dark
When the fire don't smoke
And the boat don't float
And they finally go and tell you what for
Call me when you win the war
10 days, 12 days, 20 days thrown away
20 years, 30 years doesn't matter anyway
No matter where you're going
One down, two down, domino the whole town
Mind blown, headstone flags up on the mantle
No matter where you've been
Well, it never gets better
The shape I'm in
When the seas dry up
And they pour them in a cup
Slap a big sticker on 'em, sell it back to us
When they invent a way of living, that a person can afford
When hell freezes over, and there ain't no chores
Call me when you win the war
When they cure the cold
And fill the potholes in the road
When they're honest by the promise
That we all been told
When the checks on time
And the blame ain't mine
And the killing just makes them bored
Call me when you win the war
When the wind don't blow
And the snow ain't cold
And the stars don't shine
And the time goes slow
When the birds don't chirp
And the worms quit dirt
And the rooster don't crow in the morn
Call me when you win the war
