lyrics

So put up your dukes, we’re goin’ to war
Ready the nukes, it’s DEFCON 4
Send in your mom and bomb me like before

But I’m goin’ ashore (DEFCON 3)
Assemble the troops, send in the corps
To hell with détente, all I want is war

I met you on the Baltic Sea
You were running guns for the KGB
You gave me your name, rank, and telephone number
And surrendered peacefully

You left me for dead in no-man’s-land
You broke the rules of engagement and
Rebuilt your ranks without so much as a thanks
And now we’re at it hand-to-hand

But I don’t want to fight anymore (DEFCON 2)
My shoulders are tight, my back is sore
It’s a sign of our age, all we wage is war

And furthermore (DEFCON 1)
You’ve broken the sanctions that we swore
But I reap what I sow 'cause all I know
I reap what I sow 'cause all I know
I reap what I sow 'cause all I’ve known is war

The music barely captures the joy of seeing them live. What makes them great is hearing the friendship between them and being reminded that you can create art as well. Ballantyne9k
