Climb into the ring for a battle that you can't win
Swing as hard as you can swing, it will still mean nothing
Shoulda' seen it comin', it had to happen sometime
But you went and brought a knife to an all out gun fight.
And the only thing to save
Is the banner that you wave
To be wrapped around your grave.
(Chorus)
You've gone too far
(get up get up)
Who you think you are
(get up so we can finish this)
Is this what you came for
(get up get up)
Well this means war
(get up so we can finish this)
Saw anything you want, but will get you nowhere
The only thing you've brought was psychological warfare
There's no getting out and now you gotta wonder
who will dig you out when your six feet under.
And the only thing to save
Is the banner that you wave
To be wrapped around your grave.
(Chorus)
And the only thing to save
Is the banner that you wave
To wrap around your grave.
(Chorus)
Well this means war.
