Tin Soldiers Songtext

Is this how you live?
Pretend
You were right to commit to this mission

A part of me is wired to just ignore this reign
A glass half full that fools me to enjoy this pain

It's gone far
Far enough
But it ends here

We raise the flag for change
Commence the cleansing game

Don't desert your mind
Till you've walked the line
It's your dirt, you clean it up
Woah
No good standing still
Like tin soldiers will Brace yourself, it's time for war
Time to raise the flag

In control I must be
Or else there is hell to pay
I come home
Shattered dreams
Do the dishes
It's so far just a spark
I can almost make a flame
Just like shame
It appears out of thin air

We raise the flag for change
Commence the cleansing game

Don't desert your mind
Till you've walked the line
It's your dirt, you clean it up
Woah
No good standing still
Like tin soldiers will
Brace yourself, it's time for war
Time to raise the flag

I met myself in my dreams
I told her how to breath
Slow does it
Slow does it
A small step for mankind
But a big step for the woman in me
Please move
Please move
You know it's your end
The old mentality has been condemned
It's my time
It's our time now

Don't desert your mind
Till you've walked the line
It's your dirt, you clean it up
Woah
No good standing still
Like tin soldiers will
Brace yourself, it's time for war
Time to raise the flag

It's all right
It's okay
You will live another day
It's gone far
Far enough
But it ends here
