Born in a War Lyrics – Future Islands

Born in a War Lyrics by Future Islands

It’s all so temporary
Life’s work, don’t play that way
Life’s more than cash and carry
All your guns, to your grave

Is it too much to carry?
Is it too much to ask you why?
I have a sinking feeling I know why
I have a sinking feeling I know

Born to an insensitive fool
You’ve been damned by
You’re scared
That when a strong man cries

Is when a strong man dies
Raised up in a town that’s eighty proof
Shotgun shells under every roof, every jail
Didn’t learn a lot from public school

All our books went off to wars, they could sell
Is it too much to carry?
Is it too much to run and hide?
And what’s too much to bury?

Is it too much to ask you why?
I have a sinking feeling I know why
I have a sinking feeling I know
Swore you an impossible dream

You’ve been damned by
You swear
That when a strong man cries
Is when a strong man dies

You’re scared
That when a strong man cries
Is when a strong man dies
But a strong man cries

A strong man cries
Just look into this strong man’s eyes
Oh, look into a strong man’s eyes
Look into a strong man’s eyes

Oh, look into a strong man’s eyes
Raised up in a town that’s eighty proof
Look into a strong man’s eyes
Shotgun shells under every roof

Bloody hell
