Gender Roles Your War Lyrics

[Intro: Dialogue]
A- "I listen to everything, and I just get confused. I try to soak it all in like a sponge."
B- "Yes, listening like a sponge, but is it a good way to listen? Though you soak up everything, when you try to think about it; it is still confused. It began one day, when we were playing a game; a listening game. We were going to try to identify different sounds on the record, would you like to try it with us? Listen to the next sound from the record player."

[Verse 1]
Honey, let the kids out, it's bright outside
And I can still see to the end of the street
To you I am a stranger, nothing but a photoshopped picture
Pretending to care

[Chorus]
If this is your war, then why have the fires already begun?
And I hate to see where you end up
The [?] and the water are from the pipes outside your living room
And I'd like to see it happen soon [Verse 2]
Here we have a problem situated close to home
And no one is safe when you put your fur coat on
I don't even know why I'm standing on the front line
Trying to survive

[Bridge]
How can it be, somehow I'm the villain here?
Short of breath and telling you the truth
With my right hand on a book
It's becoming obvious, enough is enough
And finally, we can agree on something with meaning for once

[Outro]
If this is your war, then why have the fires already begun?
And I hate to see where you end up
The [?] and the water are from the pipes outside
If this is your war, then why have the fires already begun?
And I hate to see where you end up
The [?] and the water are from the pipes outside your living room
And I'd like to see it happen soon
So when I ask you to
Get out, get out while you still can
