Arms for Hostages / Country at War demo by X Lyrics

[Arms for Hostages]
Our ships passed in the day
And our stars crossed in the night
You’ve said, “Paradise, is only far.”
Oh, no, we will surely fall
Don’t look, don’t look, don’t look down
I saw a Hornet and an F-15 Eagle
I saw a Tomcat fly over the rainbow
That must mean arms are for hugging
Wait, don’t shoot. I’m only kidding
Don’t look, don’t look, don’t look down
Shit, it was painful crashing through those branches
When you fall in love you take your chances
I realize that you can’t fly, but sometimes I idealize you
Fly fly
Just hold on to my hand
Please just look into my eyes
Don’t look, don’t look, don’t look down
Don’t look, don’t look, don’t look down

[Country at War]
The wind still blows
God knows how many people are buying tuxedos
People still washin’ cars
Could this be a country at war?
Leaves turn green, the fever breaks
Leaders never confess their hate
Even alone under the stars
Could this be a country at war?
Could this be a country at war?
Spit still hits the sidewalk
Someone still irons his ties
People still hardly wait in bars
Could this be a country at war?
Could this be a country at war?
Could this be a country at war?
I try to love this country, but it’s turned its back
On its sick and hungry, its tired and poor
This must be a country at war
This must be a country at war
Freeway palm trees blazing, TV stations pick up ratings
People out looting stores
This must be a country at war
This must be a country at war
This must be a country at war
