Love & War Lyrics - Rilo Kiley

all is fair in love and we're in love 

now that everybody's dead we can finally talk 

can vanity and happiness co-exist? 

all the lovers we've taken in direct view of the enemy 

and we shift each other's body to accept the bullet 

and continue the pleasure it's the treasures of battle 

its only for the for the wounded the purple hearted 

why must you try to ruin my peace of mind 

and they were only words and i never meant them 

i never loved you even in my weakness 

you were fuel for the fire cannon fodder 

when my gramdpa drank, fell and broke his face in two 

when the cops arrived he exclaimed I fought in World War Two! 

and then they carried him to a darkened hospital room 

and said no modern person here remembers you 

and we can't identify the enemy 

and it could be you so it'll cost you 

it already cost me my wife and my job now what 

when my mom and I went to identify the body 

I wanted to see it but she wouldn't let me 

I had to wait for the military cemetery 

and when we got there this is what she said to me:
