I've come so far, fought so long, far to go
Lifting their guns up the hills down the roads
I've had my doubts from the start of the tour
Living it out is just making me sure, this is war
This is war. This is war! This is war! This is war
This is war! This is war! This is war! This is war
What have they done? Why are we here? Fall back in son, is what he sneered
Have them outgunned, that the idea? We've already won; let's grab a beer
We've just begun, he proudly cheered, into the sun, don't drag the rear
And so we run, despite our fears, to shed our blood and damn our ears
That's what you want, that's what we do
Just to warn you, what it leads to
We've come so far, fought so long, far to go
Lifting their guns up the hills down the roads
We've had our doubts from the start of the tour
Living it out is just making us sure, this is war
This is war. This is war. This is war
What have we done? How'd we get here? Who blocked the sun? Mom, are you near
Covered in red, worse than I feared. Hey, did we win? And should we cheer
Is that your face or just a smear? What's that you say? I couldn't hear
Say, where're our friends? Have they disappeared? I see fallen men, but it ain't clear
That's what you want, that's what we do
Just to warn you, where it leads to
We've come so far, fought so long, far to go
Lifting their guns up the hills down the roads
We've had our doubts from the start of the tour
Living it out is just making us sure, this is war
How do we repay...the gifts we took away
How do we repay...the gifts we took away
This is war! This is war! This is war! This is war
This is war! This is war! This is war! This is war
This is war! This is war! This is war! This is war
This is war! This is war! This is....war! This is war
That's what you want, that's what we do
Just to warn you, where it leads to
We've come so far, fought so long, far to go
Lifting their guns up the hills down the roads
We've had our doubts from the start of the tour
Living it out is just making us sure, this is war
This is war! This is war! This is war! This is war
This is war! This is war! This is war! This is war
This is war! This is war! This is....war! This is war
This is war! This is war
