war sweater

new york is dangerous

littered with thieves

we've no morals here

we just do as we please

but i don't wanna go home where they all stare at me

cause i'm tattoed

and fired up

and drunk

and obscene

you wear your religion like a war sweater

you ask for the truth

but you know you could do so much better

and you sat on your fences

you screamed no retreat

so what will your legacy be?

battle lines drawn if you wonder which side speaks the truth

then look closely to which speaks from pride

i love you

i swear it

i would never lie

but i fear for our lives and i fear your closed eyes

so what will your legacy be?

so what will your legacy be?

so what will your legacy be?

i'm in the mood where i come all untied

i'm in the mood to say shit that'll change people's minds

i love you

i swear it

i would never lie

but i fear for our lives and i fear your closed eyes
