- The Long War Shuffle LyricsThe times they are a changing back
You know the heat is rising
I heard a million knuckles crack
Is it so surprising?
I'm so sick of waiting
And I know you feel the same
I'm not getting any younger
And I know you feel the same
So everyone dance as if you didn't care
And everyone move, pretend it isn't there
Take a deep breath on leaving the floor
And lock all the doors
Its going to be a long, long war
I'm so sick of waiting
And I know you feel the same
I'm not getting any younger
But the soldiers are
So everyone dance as if you didn't care
And everyone move, pretend it isn't there
Take a deep breath on leaving the floor
And lock all the doors
Its going to be a long, long war
long war, long war, long war
again, again, again,again
You know the heat is rising
I heard a million knuckles crack
Is it so surprising?
I'm so sick of waiting
And I know you feel the same
I'm not getting any younger
And I know you feel the same
So everyone dance as if you didn't care
And everyone move, pretend it isn't there
Take a deep breath on leaving the floor
And lock all the doors
Its going to be a long, long war
And I know you feel the same
I'm not getting any younger
But the soldiers are
So everyone dance as if you didn't care
And everyone move, pretend it isn't there
Take a deep breath on leaving the floor
And lock all the doors
Its going to be a long, long war
long war, long war, long war
again, again, again,again
