Weary of War and Deception
Two
Always two
Just two sides
For you to choose
White or black
Red or blue
But the answer's harder still to use
It's the leaders
of the fray
who never fight
to save the day
Don't forget
they seek power
and very soon
you're left with flowers
Off to scatter
on the graves
of the friends you lost along the way
Don't
fight for good or bad
'cause there'll be nothing left to have
Chosen hero
hurry home
You're directionless
and all alone
Friends are just more things to take
Both sides bury you with hate
Charm'd weapon
Strike me true
So they'll bury me
With you
