Truce

You can have Washington I'll take New Jersey
 You can have London but I want New York city
 I should get Providence I've got a job now
 Los Angeles - obvious - that's where you belong now
 You can have Africa, Asia, Australia
 As long as you keep your hands off Cafe Pamplona
 We can split Germany right down the middle
 You'd hate it there anyway
 Take Berlin and we'll call it even
 You can have all of the carry-on baggage
 I'll trade the saskia jokes for the alphabet language
 On special occasions we'll split between parents
 Who forced us to hate them on alternating weekends
 You call it over and I call you psycho
 Significant other? just say we were lovers!
 And we'll call it even, we'll call it even
 I am the ground zero ex-friend you ordered
 Disguised as a hero to get past your borders
 I know when I'm wanted I'll leave if you ask me to
 Mind my own business and speak when I'm spoken to
 I am the tower around which you orbited
 I am not proud, I am just taking orders
 I fall to the ground within hours of impact
 I hit back when hit and attack when attacked!
 You get Route 2 between Concord and Lexington
 I want Mass Ave from the square to my apartment
 And if we should meet through some misunderstanding
 I'll be very sweet very patient and forgiving
 (Now get off my side of the state)
 And if we should see one another in passing
 Despite these techniques there is sometimes no avoiding
 (There must be some kind of mistake)
 We'll raise high our white flags and bow heads and shake hands
 Declaring the land we're on unamerican
 We'll call it even
 I am the tower around which you orbited
 I am not proud, I am just taking orders
 I fall to the ground within hours of impact
 I hit back when hit
 And attack if attacked
 I am an accident waiting to happen
 I'm laughing like mad as you strangle the captain
 My place may be taken, but make no mistake
 From a little black box I can say without shame
 That you've lost
 Do you know what you've lost?
 So take whatever you'd like
 I'll strike like the States on fire
 You won't sleep very tight
 No hiding
 No safe covers
 Make your bed and now lie
 Just like you always do
 You can fake it for the papers but I'm on to you
 I'm on to you, I'm on to you!
