I put up an awful fight tonight
As the wounds from 1,000 wars clear my eyes
And the poison in the wine sails my blood
And I'll tell the waiter 'Oh, I've had enough'
I could not believe it
The sights I was seeing and
The world is a mess baby and we can't fix it
All of the world is holding me captive
I bet you're all crazy for making it out alive
Stay safe and keep warm
Though we might make it through the night
All of us here are putting up an awful fight
