Lost the War - Paper Lions

Had another late night last night

Had the city up in arms

Had another late night last night

Sound the fun funston alarm

The broken gems that fill our wall

Are trophies of the nights haul

This evidence is building up

But we’re still laughing, we’re not caught

We lost the war, but won the battle

Pulled out the rug from under

We lost the war, but won the battle

They thought they had our number

The holy grail of all our treasures

Not in our hands, but in our sights

The weathered sign that taunts us reading

«Four Year Old Cheddar» tonight

We take the leap and knock it down

The lights come on, the sirens sound

We’re caught for such a foolish prize

The war is lost but we’re still alive

We lost the war, but won the battle

Pulled out the rug from under

We lost the war, but won the battle

They thought they had our number
