Lyrics
The war really wore me down over time.
Theres a whole lot of holes in the memory drive.
Say, well I'll do what you do if she does what we do
We're all strung out by the whites of your eyes.
It don't mean a thing to me, like "ooh rah rah rah"
Who can even say what it means, "ohh rah rah rah"
Ooh rah rah rah
The war really wore me down over time.
Yeah there's a whole lot of a space in the fog of your mind.
Yea there's a whole lot of noise just wandering by,
And theres a whole bunch of reasons to cover your eyes.
It don't mean a thing to me, like "ooh rah rah rah"
Who can even say what it means, "ohh rah rah rah"
Ooh rah rah rah
Just when I think it's over I get a phone call from the king.
He says "your time's run out" and that he's coming for me.
He said "well I know what you did, and I know who she is".
And we're all strung out by the whites of your eyes.
It don't mean a thing to me, like "ooh rah rah rah"
Who can even say what it means, "ohh rah rah rah"
Ooh rah rah rah
It don't mean a thing to me, like "ooh rah rah rah"
Who can even say what it means, "ohh rah rah rah"
Ooh rah rah rah
