Down By Law Call To Arms Lyrics

Call To Arms Lyrics

Rejoice in your naivete boy, cause it's all gone for me 



I know we lived on stupid dreams; it was all we had you see 



but when the balance totters there's no time for starry eyes 



clear your thoughts to earn the good life and then I'll call you wise 



now in the end I predict that you'll be just like me 



cause only the foolish or the blind don't want a new t.v. 



and you won't want to haunt the thrift stores when you're old and gray 



you'd better earn a packet now for all those lonely days 



I see the fire in your eyes and I wish you all the best 



but if you want to stay in my world put all of the that to rest 



there it is, I've said it, now the rest is up to you 



things were great when we were young; now march with me, its through 



if you could only see things my way, then you'd know I'm right! 



I believe you can hold on and live life in ways you choose 



confusion and my desperation are far too dear to lose 



if all of this meant nothing then you've wasted all that time 



but I can't un-tattoo my life, and that's the bottom line 



I'm not stupid and I know that everyone plays the game 



but how far you go on prefab terms is where we're not the same 



don't want to live my life today for when I'm 65 



if we all make it that far, dear god I'll be surprised 



anyway the point is this: I too wish you the best 



but when I walk down city streets I don't feel like the rest 



don't worry; I won't wave a red flag or march on the city square 



somewhere between revolution and you, you'll find me there 



if you could only see things my way, then you'd know I'm right!
