The Media loves this war even more than the one with real weapons...and maybe we do too...Perhaps our Rush and Fixx influence seeped into this one.

lyrics

Thick skin wears thin from the damage done by a venomous tongue
Loose lips and head trips are a means to an end but an end by no means
I will not run this time
A low blow makes a friend foe it’s a sizable debt that one may never forget
A cheap shot by your slingshot is a simple thing but a weapon that stings
I will not run this time – nor will I fight

Lay down your arms or we’ll both get burned
By a war of words
There’s no cause for harm cause we both take turns
In a war of words
Lay down your arms or we’ll both get burned
By a war

A hard line is like a land mine - a dangerous toy and a killer of joy
A hard hit by your quick wit is like a wrecking ball against my concrete wall
I will not run this time – nor will I fight

Lay down your arms or we’ll both get burned
By a war of words
There’s no cause for harm cause we both take turns
In a war of words
Lay down your arms or we’ll both get burned
By a war

I’d cross those battle lines for you
If it’s the last thing that I do
But I will not fight in a war of words with you
Why do we fight it baby
Brother to brother and father to mother
It’s a war of words

Lay down your arms or we’ll both get burned
By a war of words
There’s no cause for harm cause we both take turns
In a war of words
Lay down your arms or we’ll both get burned
By a war
