the battle lines are drawn out
on your scuffed-up hardwood floor
and you act so tough, like you've had enough
not taking anymore
and i think i've had my fill
of all your drills and your routines
but you look so goddamn good in army green
you've got your soldiers marching
and your cavalry lined up
and everybody's waiting for your cannons to erupt
you've had enough of me but i can't get enough of you
in your red beret and your high-heeled army boots
[Chorus]
but i've grown to hate the way you say my name
and i'm really tired of hearing you complain
so i think it's time we both just let it be
'cause making war with you is no good for me
when we get too close for bullets
you pull out your blades
and your blue eyes might be daggers
but my heart's a hand grenade
so if you wanna fight so bad then fight your pretty self
if you've still got friends i suggest you get some help
