Michael John Anthony - A Civil War Lyrics



Michael John Anthony - A Civil War Lyrics




I drove through Antietam
On Thanksgiving Day
With primrose and ribbons
Of calico grey
Pulled up at your house
Walked up to your door
A hug and a smile
It's a quarter to four

The pregame is on now
We watched with your wife
In come your daughters
My nieces (your life)
The turkey was tender
A fond family day
Yet so much has altered
What words can we say?

It's safer, skip over
The war in Ukraine
Steer clear of the president
Don't say his name
Can't ask about Pfizer
Your views are renowned
Our distance is farther
Than any lockdown

How could it happen
And where do we go?
When brothers can't mention
The falling of snow
At the game now the anthem
A player takes a knee
I stare at the curtain
You can't look at me

You don't listen to reason
And I can't explain
The poison we're breathing
Has made us insane
We're the pawns in a chess game
The fat cats play well
That takes good intention
And leads us to hell

And something's been different
Since Barack and Bush
The world got opinion
Instead of the truth
And I'm finally thankful
To walk out your door
It might have been civil
But we are at war

Look away
Look away...
