Wrapped up in the loving arms of a war What industry is worth dying for Its all a race to the top of the pantheon in the time we've got Built a wall to keep us clean Where the skin is fair and the grass is green Three car garage, a house by the sea To keep out all those who disagree Barbed wire killed the buffalo Telephone killed the radio We're killing the time before our turn It keeps out, it keeps in the devils rope against my skin Spits fire until there's nothing left to burn Cold blood go figure From the man behind the desk to the one behind the trigger There's silent anguish in every language It all sounds the same no matter what day its I can remember a world without fear Before I heard the clock ticking in my ear Barbed wire killed the buffalo Telephone killed the radio We're killing the time before our turn It keeps out, it keeps in the devils rope against my skin Spits fire until theres nothing left to burn
