White Flag Lyrics - The Partisans

I caught you on the offensive 

but you've levelled my defences 

Blood on my face or is it lipstick? 

twin projectiles, were they ballistic? 

I tried a little gentle persuasion 

but you insisted on an invasion 

I was getting my senses back 

you launched a full frontal attack 

Call the hostilities to a halt 

I can't cope with this brutal assault 

I've tried it all from money to charm 

I may as well unilateral disarm 

You foiled my plants with a mind detector 

I'm a conscientious objector 

The war you started was all out 

I didn't mean for us to fall out 

You laid waste to my apartment 

with a saturation bombardment 

Your mental state was on activate 

It was ready and set to detonate 

Somewhere I think that we got it wrong 

I found myself sitting on a time bomb 

The looks you're giving me are pure corrosive 

I'd better watch out 'cos you're highly explosive 

I'm beaten, I'm bloody, I'm aching, I'm sore 

I can't take anymore of this civil war 

I'm gonna surrender 'cos I've had enough 

If this is your idea of playing it rough 

When all this is over I'll get the blame 

for allowing escalation of your war games 

I once was your ally, I once was your friend 

But now it seems it's over and it looks like the end
