Poor the War Away
Karl BlauOriginal | 2012 Version |
POOR THE WAR AWAY Let me lessen all the guessin' Let me know the score Let me settle in the nettle Make me hope for more Make me holler Make me call her Make me feel my way Let me tend her on a bender Lady Liberty At the roots, we shared our boots Now we choose our shoes Now we make the bed we lie in Now we lie in our sleep Wake me, brother, from my senses Help me come to terms Across the desert, in our dreams We count our chickens and burns Why is there this war to stay If we keep it fed in May? Why is there this war today? Poor the war away Why is there this war to stay If we keep it fed in May? Natural in the children's play But they're the first to say Poor the war away Unconscious since 1996 Just trippin' on this woman And the baby's in the crib What kind of a world do I want my girls in? Not by the hair of his chinny chin chin We got the ego to more than get by Make our differences pieces of the pie I say as I sigh, just one more piece to make anyone cry People walk in fear's shadow People walk holes too, you know People need hate in their soul Like they need a hole People walk in fear's shadow People walk holes too, you know People need hate in their soul Like they need a hole Like a brand new hole Get ready Get ready with confetti Pick your Ro Sham Bo Get your honey while it's sunny Golden rivers flow Lose your crown and pass it down And down and down some truth As you're drinking from the fountain Do you need more proof? What is fed will grow up healthy and strong What is sheltered may not know right from wrong (?) As I ate my surroundings I slipped into a dream Milky Way here to stay Till I sipped it like cream Mirror of stars, contemplating our state Hear the hungry howl of the beast With the sunshine plate You don't want to be food You don't want to be rude Walk into his lair Why is war? Why is poor? (Hear a voice call, "Next") Why is there this war to stay If we keep it fed in May? Why is there this war today? Poor the war away Why is there this war to stay If we keep it fed in May? Natural in the children's play But they're the first to say Poor the war away War (away) Poor Why is there this war? Poor the war away War Poor War | POOR THE WAR AWAY Why is there this War today? Why is there this War today? Why is there this War today? Why is there this War? Let me lessen all the guessin' Let me know the score Let me settle in the nettle Let me hope for more Make me taller, make me cooler Make me hold the door Make me pretty in the city Make me work my core Loosen my tongue - get ready, set, speak On the things in life that make my weaknesses Sizzle and sup on my mind, my time is tied To the tidal grasp of my hide Tap on your bruises, it's the ego that cries Just don't look into its eyes Hey, why don't you talk about your muscles instead of your fears? Why is there this war today, why is there this war today? Why is there this war today, why is there this war? Get ready, get ready, get ready for the steady Get your Ro Sham Bo, Get your honey while it's sunny, get your golden flow Lose your crown and pass it round Crowded losers frown, list your piss among the vinegar off the lost and found Cancel the bars and cancel the reception Extend your life by extending your perception To include those around you, even those in the cracks, Between worlds they slipped, so pass over some slack Pass the box with the ancient inscription, like in the pyramids prescriptions I'll take this long distance call And when we peer amid the questions we'll raise Why is War? Why is poor? We find lying a sly paralyze-r With a sign anyone can see at least for a buck After good riddance is written good luck Why is there this War today? Why is there this War today? Why is there this War today? Poor the War away Poor the War away Poor the War away |
