War Drum

Ahhhhhh

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 gold life

My whole life it's been really hard to breathe

I've been waitin 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
