Battle Vs. The War - Butch Walker

Enemy lines

Drawn the same time

Who will lie?

Give it all back

Fade it to black

And watch it die

And you never see it coming

You just wave it good-bye

And it’s gone

So I’ll sing us down the river

We’ll pick up and carry on

Even though we never really knew what for

Took a good long look at failure

‘Til I couldn’t anymore

I won the battle

But we lost the war

Pictures of life

Taken at night

With you blurred out

Funny some how,

I see it clear now

And hear the sounds

Of the trains at the station

Where I first picked you up

I let you down.

So I’ll sing us down the river

We’ll pick up and carry on

Even though we never really knew what for

Took a good long look at failure

‘Til I couldn’t anymore

I won the battle

But we lost the war

So I’ll sing us down the river

We’ll pick up and carry on

Even though we never really knew what for

Took a good long look at failure

‘Til we couldn’t anymore

We won the battle

But we lost the war
