War Drum
Ahhhh
And I remember back when I was twenty-five
When I was still young, still tender
Still passionate with sunny vibes
Before the rain before the
Tragedies and bloody skies
Before my memories were
Massacred to mummified
Sippin on a rox glass warm scotch cold ice
I like relaxin don't mistake that
For a dull life my whole life it's been
Really hard to breathe
I've been waiting on a person
That will finally put my heart to ease
I weave through the carbon freeze
Wind blows through the scarlet trees
It's been years since I've felt jealousy
Since I've felt this pressure
Hell bent for leather shedding
Felt tip letters so down spill your beer
You turned thirty just to realize
Everything is down hill from here
Say good bye to having
Party time amongst friends
And say hello to single mothers
That don't trust men this is the life
This is the life (yeah)
This is paradise (yeah)
Feeling so incredible my head
Is filled with vices this is the life (yeah)
Livin with no spite (yeah)
There is not a reason to be evil and divisive
You know all my friends know that
My heart is like a drum
My heart is like a war drum
All my friends know that my
Heart is like a drum
My heart is like a war drum
Me and my ex girl Israel and Palestine
Same thing it's never too early
For a glass of wine the shutters go bang
You feeling predator you've gone
Bloodied those fangs it's so strange
Some times I'm such a grumpy old thing
That I take a little bump of cocaine
Just to lubricate me socially
Hate is not the opposite of love no it isn't
The opposite of love is indifference
And it's suppose to be
I feel and unadulterated adulation
For the people are close to me
I mean for the people I abuse
It's never been a secret that I go
From hot to freezing with my moods
So here's a ghost for free
You spend your whole life rejecting
Who your parents told you you
Were suppose to be
But I guess it doesn't feel
Like it's your life till you grow up an you
Realize they were right
Baby this is the life
This is the life (yeah)
This is paradise (yeah)
Feeling so incredible my head
Is filled with vices this is the life (yeah)
Livin with no spite (yeah)
There is not a reason to be evil and divisive
You know all my friends know
That my heart is like a drum
My heart is like a war drum
All my friends know that my
Heart is like a drum
My heart is like a war drum
So I'm quilting the seasons together
Guilty to thinking forever
Will be the reason I wanna settle it down
I think I'm building it evenly
Roof and ceiling is keeping me
From the millions of evil
People meddlesome clowns (get down)
Just because I'm atheist don't mean
The devil is around
Just means the faith you spit to
Me was letting me down
I don't find human beings supreme
I don't think privileged to
Know what life means this is the life
Where you could make a
Hundred million dollars
Selling Christ if you work the angles right
Polish them and shine them till
You turn the halos bright
Add a sense of urgency and
Surely they gonna bite
You know who else would do that
A certain angel might but I
Don't believe in Satan
Don't believe in wrong or right
Nope I just believe in protect
Those that need it and if you make a fuck up
Don't repeat it Jesus Christ
This is the life (yeah)
This is paradise (yeah)
Feeling so incredible my head
Is filled with vices this is the life (yeah)
Livin with no spite (yeah)
There is not a reason to be evil and divisive
You know all my friends know
That my heart is like a drum
My heart is like a war drum
All my friends know that my
Heart is like a drum
My heart is like a war drum
