lyrics

What's up, I might've missed it
time to find yourself so solipsistic
need some help need some help
to find the optimism
inside your mind
and I sing...

Woo!

What's up, I need some help to find
can't avoid myself, I need to draw the line
don't know anything that's gonna happen to ya
inside my mind, and I sing...

War is my best friend
it's outta my hands
we gotta respond
to their demands
for death I wait
I am become
my will is strong
I have lived long
I lived too long...

What can I get I need to tread lightly
just take a break you need to land softly
with a hedonistic view abandon your humanity
money and power make or break a Greek tragedy
a soul song, it's a blood bath
with the saw-tooth in your rib-cage
in my mind there is no...

What's up, I'm optimistic
time to find myself so solipsistic
need some help need no help
to find you're already in that
state of mind and I sing
that war is...

War is my best friend
it's outta my hands
we gotta respond
to their demands
for death I wait
I am become
my will is strong
I have lived long
I lived too long...
