We're Making War Lyrics - Polly Jean Harvey

( with moonshake ) 

We're making war, lover 

We are not getting on 

I will not change to keep the peace 

You won't admit you're wrong 

I've got a bellyful of grudges and I will not let them out 

The wreckage of your previous life 

You will not sort it out 

The dirt we keep on raking 

The giving up, the taking 

And we keep on making war, darling 

The stand off is coming 

The wounds should heal without a scar 

But the stitches keep on breaking 

And you keep on phoning 

And I keep on moaning 

And we keep on making war 

Sweetheart, destroying our best laid plans 

I will not explain myself and you refuse to understand 

Our friends all become traitors as we wave our piece of paper 

The ammunition's loaded 

And the troops are at the border 

But I might be bluffing 

And you might be faking 

But we keep making war
