Mākaha beach, your fort of dreams As young men bleed, torn at the seams In your wake, you leave us stranded, screaming Begging you for more What you take away and keep as yours, perpetually keeping score You're like a war Like a place we used to live when we endured By some narrow-minded minefield where you sit The narrow-margin tightrope act in which we live In storm-like wars where nothing's left ♪ Maginot line of your contempt Where we do time and we descend Into something part subhuman, three parts annihilation Pushing all our chips forward, reaching for oblivion You're like a war Like a place we used to live when we endured By some narrow-minded minefield where you sit The narrow-margin tightrope act in which we live In storm-like war, there's nothing left ♪ You're like a war You're like a war You're like a war You're like a war You're like a-, you're like a war
