The Civil Wars Lyrics - David Byrne

I got a right to be out on my mind 

I got a right to be who I am 

Love me, love my problems 

The good times and the rotten 

The war is in me, the war is in you 

The war is in everybody now 

Shake this tone, out of control 

They are fightin' with knives and forks 

Demonstrating how democracy works 

God's good and God is great 

So I wear my happy face

The war is in you, the war is in me 

The war is in everybody now 

The wolf is loose, he's living in you 

There'll be a celebration 

Johnny comes marching home 

His eyes are on the ceiling 

It ain't no fashion show 

A heavy situation 

Does things to your skin 

Although it ain't no party 

Dying to get in 

Sex is something if it's looking good 

A ceasefire in the neighbourhood 

We bleed and stain the carpet 

We start our own republic

The war is in me, the war is in you 

The war is in everybody now 

The greatest look 

In heaven above 

There'll be a celebration 

Johnny comes marching home 

His eyes are on the ceiling 

It ain't no fashion show 

A heavy situation 

Does things to your skin 

Although it ain't no party 

Dying to get in
