There's a strange little bird at the motel And a gun shop three miles ahead God walked right on up, rang the doorbell But the TV was on loud so he left Oh and the flood can't put out the wildfire Love can't quell what greed desires Birds like little soldiers in a line What happens when the battlefield Engulfs the battle When the land for which we war Burns us alive Call it what you will The end or just some cosmic shadow But don't you wanna see yourself Before you die The astrologers all said I told you so You see destruction is a lengthy affair And so I watched what I could from the window Until the smoke finally swallowed the air The flood can't put out the wildfire Love can't quell what greed desires Birds like little soldiers in a line What happens when the battlefield Engulfs the battle When the land for which we war Burns us alive Call it what you will The end or just some cosmic shadow But don't you wanna see yourself Before you die Don't you wanna see yourself Don't you wanna see yourself Don't you wanna see yourself
