LYRICS
LOVE IN A TIME OF WAR
Black and white,
Or 10 million shades of grey,
Some people swear
There’s a picture there in that haze.
A pretty picture
Where a perfect story plays-
Where light and dark
Always go their separate ways.
But it’s not that way, not here today
Now you don’t see things
In that same old way?
Do you, do you, do you?
I’ve seen
love in a time of war,
Brotherhood
with bones knocking on the door,
Good and evil
sharing the same spotlight.
When something’s wrong,
How come we still got right?
From the corner
She fights to see the light.
He sells peace,
But just loves a fight.
Topsy-turvy
Is this earthly delight.
How can she smile,
How can he sleep at night?
Don’t seem right-
Not here tonight.
Now you don’t see things
In that same old light?
Do you, do you, do you?
I’ve seen
love in a time of war,
Brotherhood
with bones knocking on the door,
Good and evil
sharing the same spotlight.
When something’s wrong,
How come we still got right?
How could they bring
A child into this scene?
How can the pious
Really be so mean?
What’s going on when
True love turns all green,
Gangsters are heroes,
And everything’s in between?
What does this mean-
This in between?
Do you really know
What’s behind that screen?
Do you, do you, do you?
Do you, do you, do you?
I’ve seen
love in a time of war,
Brotherhood
with bones knocking on the door,
Good and evil
sharing the same spotlight.
When something’s wrong,
How come we still got right?
