How You Survived The War Lyrics

How You Survived The War lyrics

You never change your mind once it's made up

Unless it's to crawl back on
your knees



Is that the way you want it?

You get back to the
wall

And put your hands up

It's a holdup

You give up like
every time before

That is how you survived the war



You never
multiply, all these divisions

You give yourself the least of parts

I
put on my green felt hat, pack our privisions

Playing a merry Prince of
Thieves



Is that the way you want it?

You get back to the
wall

And put your hands up

It's a holdup

You give up like
every time before

That is how you survived the war



You're
not gonna lose this one

You don't have to cut and run

I think you
can choose to love and what is more

That is how you survived the war



Now in a summer's day, spring a ripened plum

How will you live
under the sun?

You follow the open road, remembering the guns

When
you get lost under the trees



Is that the way you want it?

You get back to the wall

And put your hands up

It's a holdup

You give up like every time before

That is how you survived the war

That is how you survived the war



You never change your mind once
it's made up
