War - Jeff Williams, Adrienne Cowan

Never really had a problem with you

All along, I thought our friendship was true

Put my trust in you right from the start

I never dreamed that you would be my enemy

The knife to take my heart

You screwed me in the perfect way, a friend betrayed

Just another mourner,

content to follow orders

Leave behind your conscience, abandon those who need you most

Convince yourself you’re noble, but we both know it’s not so

But if you cross my battle line, you’ll find

You’ll be sorry that you tried

If it’s war that you want, then you got it

If it’s pain, well, I brought what you need

If it’s true what you say, you’re the best, then let’s play

You won’t believe it until you see it

When I kick your ass and look you in the eye

With a smile and a cheerful heart, I’ll turn to you and wave

Goodbye!

I’ll be honest, I was plenty surprised

Turned from family to full-on despised

Just like you to take the coward’s way out

A book of lies with no replies

This diatribe’s your victory, no doubt

You knew the cruelest things to say, then ran away

Filled with spite and jaundiced, like Judas thereupon kissed

Just a mindless weapon pointed at an enemy

A simple tool providing someone else with victory

Now that you crossed my battle line, it’s time

That I blow your little mind

Farewell, my friend

I really must give you the credit, you achieved a goal

Perhaps the first time in your life you felt control

I’ll never trust the same, I’ll see friendship as just another game

Full of winners and losers, selfish abusers

You failed to fly, but somehow I’m to blame?

If it’s war that you want, then you got it

If it’s pain, well, I brought what you need

If it’s true what you say, you’re the best, then let’s play

You won’t believe it until you see it

When I kick your ass and look you in the eye

With a smile and a cheerful heart, I’ll turn to you and wave

Goodbye!
