Dirty Little War

Take all you gave to me and burn it to the ground
This place I once called home, is nowhere to me now
Green grass where I once laid, is now all turned to brown
And walls of wood, steel, flesh and bone are slowly crumblin' down
And don't be sorry 'cause I've heard that all before
Please don't try to justify 'cause nobody wins
In this dirty little war, this dirty little war

Take this tiny band of gold, for no more will it shine
And everything that once was ours, is now just yours and mine
So I'll take back my heart and I will give you back your name
In 90 days, a judge downtown will take back 20 years of pain
And don't be sorry 'cause I've heard that all before
Please don't try to justify 'cause nobody wins
In this dirty little war, this dirty little war

So I'll sleep tonight alone, in this bed so hard and cold
A broken heart I know can heal, but I believe you got my soul
And don't be sorry 'cause I've heard that all before
Please don't try to justify 'cause nobody wins
In this dirty little war, this dirty little war, this dirty little war
Nobody wins in this dirty little war
