After the Wars

from The Burning of Los Angeles by Justin Wiles

/

lyrics

After the wars settled our scores
And we were forced to collaborate in our new fate
Then came the noise and beat-belting voice
To prod at the poise our backs would break to cultivate
Arming the catapults decades too late

The line holds and finally folds
When we let enough of the past in
Bombing and blasting and breaking us up

Open the doors, take us, we're yours
All in due course, first we'll take you straight to the magistrate
Who'll see you up close, who'll take off your clothes
Who'll look down his nose
And nightly compensate for your dowdy dead weight
With ingenue animals lying in wait

The line holds and finally folds
When we let enough of the past in
Bombing and blasting and breaking us up
