This Is War - Emily Kinney

Oh I know, I know, I know

All the songs you write are about me

But you changed the names so I can’t stake my claim

You’re so greedy

And I know, I know, I know

That you think you’re a much better writer

And that might be true

But what I’ve got on you

Is I’m a fighter

This is war

My fingers are sore

So far from the top

But I refuse to stop

Got shakers in my eardrums

Bossing like a new gun

Baby, when it’s all done

You won’t mind that I’ve won

This is a battle

You are the prize

Put down that piano

Let’s start our lives

You’ve got more soldiers

But I’ve got more passion

And I’m right behind you just gaining traction

POW!

POW!

POW!

POW!

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

And I know, I know, I know

About the lovers in your bulletproof lining

They don’t intimidate

They’re just too bit-ah late and bad timing

And I know, I know, I know

You’ve got your battle plan mapped out in inches

But I’m not scared of you

I’m jumping right into these Brooklyn trenches

This is war

My fingers are sore

I might be a masochist just asking for more

Cause this stage is like a standoff

And you’re pretty tough

I’m bruised and bloody

BUT I’LL NEVER GIVE UP!

This is a battle

You are the prize

Put down that piano

And come to my side

We’ll sing songs together

I’ll hold your hand

Make perfect-pitched babies

And form a band

I don’t really want, I don’t really wanna fight no more

I’m sweating in the sun

Camped out with ammo at your door

Uh-oor, uh-oor, uh-oor, oh

I don’t really want, I don’t really wanna fight no more

But I just can’t be beat

So I will stand the heat

Until your love, your love is sure

Baby, this is war

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

POW!

POW!

POW!

POW!

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

POW!

POW!

POW!

POW!

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

POW!

POW!

POW!

POW!

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!
