Line them up make them stand Let the people countermand Reaching for the upper hand Casting lots to rule the fairyland War is love, war is hell And in our minds we will never know Was it a show And the magic gets stronger that keeps us from seeing in Start the clock fire the gun I'll wait to see who will outrun Feeding on comparison Plastic faces stand up to the sun And in our minds we will never know Was it a show And the magic gets stronger that keeps us from seeing in Perfect tie perfect hair Perfect coach perfect stare Perfect speech perfect flair Perfect chill perfect scare So I'm glad that it's not me Who has the ring or holds the key Or has to call the family Or makes a mark on all eternity And in our minds we will never know Was it a show And the magic gets stronger that keeps us from seeing it War is love war is hell
