Lights out on the street tonight   Walking alone in the fading light   Vague sounds of a distant band   The desperate howls of a one night stand   Thin smile and clenching fist   Scoping tags like sniffing piss   Stay in control as the tension mounts   Magnetic pull from north to south   And I wish I had the resolution   skills to walk away   It never happens quite that way   Do you want to start a war?      Base thump on the stereo   Tongue tied and I want to know   Cut and dried, I'm all cut up   Sting like amphetamines and ready to go   And I wish I had the resolution   skills to walk away   It never happens quite that way   Do you want to start a war?      Do you want to stand up and keep your head held high?   Can you place yourself on the other side?   Do you remember what you're fighting for?   Do you really want to start a war?   Always searching for some answers or some cigarettes   I'd be happy either way.   Do you want to start a war?
