The Rear Admirals - Jericho Lyrics

You're a hero in their eyes
Been that way since '95
I guess it's true; some things never change

So you can lie to these parasites
Everyday of your miserable lives
And I know; a hero you'll remain

But I didn't come to say I told you so
I only came to say it is so
You built yourself a house of lies to live in, and I'm going to break the walls down
This isn't war, it's Jericho

Seen a shift at the airports
Voices waver when they talk
I know there's something different in the way they look at me

But I see things a little clearer
Now when I look into the mirror
I like everything I thing

But I didn't come to say I told you so
I only came to say it is so
There's a mystery in your eyes and I'm going to break the code
This isn't war, it's Jericho

Boo me on the streets
They can't stand an honest man
Dream of trading lives
They know they never can

Came here as a savior
Couldn't see it through
You're not worthy of saving
I'm going to save myself from you

But I didn't come to say I told you so
I only came to say it is so
You built yourself a house of lies to live in, and I'm going to break the walls down
This isn't war, no...
This isn't war, no...

Tell your lovely kids and wife the reason you're staying home tonight
It's not war, no...
It's no war, no...
It's not war, Jericho
