Martina Mcbride - This Uncivil War Lyrics
This uncivil war(gretchen peters)Theres a silence on the front linesYou can cut it with a knifeYou can stay and take your changesOr you can run to save your lifeAnd one side is retreatingAnd the others runnin scaredAnd the drums of war are beatingEven through its undeclaredAnd both sides say theyre winningAnd both sides know theyre losingAnd neither one knows what theyre fighting forAnd in the quiet little placesYou can see the little facesHuddled right outside the bedroom doorPraying for an end to this uncivil warPapa needs a new jobSo hes swallowing his prideOh, but it dont go down easyAnd it eats him up insideAnd mama, she dont noticeLittle sisters ragged dressLately she dont noticeMuch of anythingI guessTheyre just fightin off the hungerTryin to keep from goin underBut the wolves just keep onGatherin round the doorTheres no place to run for coverSo theyre turning on each otherCause there really aint no winners anymoreJust victims of this uncivil warTheres a silence on the front linesYou can cut it with a knifeYou can stay and take your chancesOr you can run to save your life
