Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
To line up to the ring For a battle that you can't win Swing as hard as you can swing It will still mean nothing Should've seen it coming It had to happen sometime But you went and brought a knife To an all out gunfight And the only thing to save Is the banner that you wave To be wrapped around your grave You've gone too far, who do you think you are Is this what you came for, well this means war Say anything you want But talk will get you nowhere The only thing you brought is psychological warfare Well there's no getting off And now you got to wonder Who will dig you out when you're six feet under And the only thing to save Is the banner that you wave To be wrapped around your grave You've gone too far, who do you think you are Is this what you came for, well this means war And the only thing to save Is the banner that you wave To be wrapped around your grave You've gone too far, who do you think you are Is this what you came for, well this means war This means war
