Everybody's Gone To War Lyrics - Fires - Nerina Pallot

I've got a friend, he's a purebred killing machine 

He said he's waited his whole damn life for this 

I knew him well when he was seventeen 

Now he's a man who'll be dead by Christmas 

And so everybody's going to war 

But we don't know what we're fighting for 

Don't tell me it's a worthy cause 

No cause could be so worthy 

If love is a drug, I guess we're all sober 

If hope is a song, I guess it's all over 

How to have faith when faith is a crime? 

I don't want to die 

If God's on our side, then God is a joker 

Asleep on the job, his children fall over 

Running out through the door and straight to the sky 

I don't want to die 

For every man who wants to rule the world 

There'll be a man who just wants to be free 

What do we learn but what should not be learnt? 

Too late to find a cure for this disease 

So everybody's going to war 

But we don't know what we're fighting for 

Don't tell me it's a worthy cause 

No cause could be so worthy 

If love is a drug, I guess we're all sober 

If hope is a song, I guess it's all over 

How to have faith when faith is a crime? 

I don't want to die 

If God's on our side, then God is a joker 

Asleep on the job, his children fall over 

Running out through the door and straight to the sky 

I don't want to die 

(I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I don't want to die, I, I don't) 

Want to die 

So everybody's going to war 

But we don't know what we're fighting for 

Don't tell me it's a worthy cause 

No cause could be so worthy 

If love is a drug, I guess we're all sober 

If hope is a song, I guess it's all over 

How to have faith when faith is a crime? 

I don't want to die 

If God's on our side, then God is a joker 

Asleep on the job, his children fall over 

Running out through the door and straight to the sky 

I don't want to die 

(I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I don't want to die, I, I don't) 

Want to die 

I've got a friend, he's a purebred killing machine 

I think he might be dead by Christmas
