Born in a War

Lyrics

It's all so temporary
 ♪
 Life's work, don't play that way
 ♪
 Life's more than cash and carry
 All your guns, to your grave
 ♪
 Is it too much to carry?
 Is it too much to ask you why?
 I have a sinking feeling, I know why
 I have a sinking feeling, I know
 Born to an insensitive fool
 You've been damned by
 You're scared
 When a strong man cries
 Is when a strong man dies
 
 Raised up in a town that's 80 proof
 ♪
 Shotgun shells under every roof, every jail
 ♪
 Didn't learn a lot from public schools
 All our books went off to wars, they could sell
 
 Is it too much to carry?
 Is it too much to run and hide?
 And what's too much to bury?
 Is it too much to ask you why?
 I have a sinking feeling, I know why
 I have a sinking feeling, I know
 ♪
 Swore you an impossible dream
 You've been damned by
 You swear
 That when a strong man cries
 Is when a strong man dies
 You're scared
 That when a strong man cries
 Is when a strong man dies
 ♪
 But a strong man cries
 ♪
 A strong man cries
 
 Just look into this strong man's eyes
 ♪
 Look into a strong man's eyes
 Look into a strong man's eyes
 ♪
 Look into a strong man's eyes
 Raised up in a town that's 80 proof
 (Look into a strong man's eyes)
 Shotgun shells under every roof
 Bloody hell
