by Harry Manx (c) 2001

Lines were drawn, forces gathered
All at the foot of our bed
Planned attack without retreats
Battles were fought deep in our heads


Spoke of war, rattled our swords
Brought out the great big guns
Halfway through a long campaign
We got tired of the bloody fun


Oh, roses given


Truce was signed without a shot
We drank to our new deal
Felt so good about what we got
We ended up, oh lord, half peeled


Silence rules my day
Give me some more of the same
The prize is not so much in the goal... oh, no, no, no
It's the playing of the game


Roses given


Sure we bark and sometimes bite
Never use our teeth
Ain't it lovely that the war is over
Now we get us some god damn relief


Days of struggle cast aside
Still I can get the shakes
Till the next one learns to fly
I'm here... with what it takes


Roses given
