Poor the War Away - Karl Blau

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
