Cold War lyrics

So, you think I’m alone

But being alone’s the only way to be

When you step outside

You spend life fighting for your sanity

This is a cold war

You better know what you’re fighting for

This is a cold war

Do you know what you’re fighting for?

If you wanna be free (If you want to be free)

Below the ground’s the only place to be

‘Cause in this life (‘Cause in this life)

You spend time running from depravity

This is a cold war

Do you know what you’re fighting for?

This is a cold war

You better know what you’re fighting for

This is a cold war

You better know what you’re fighting for

This is a cold war

Do you know what you’re fighting for?

Bring wings to the weak and bring grace to the strong

May all evil stumble as it flies in the world

All the tribes come and the mighty will crumble

We must brave this night and have faith in love

I’m trying to find my peace (Tryin’ to find my peace)

I was made to believe there’s something wrong with me (There’s something wrong with me)

And it hurts my heart (It hurts my heart)

Lord have mercy, ain’t it plain to see?

That this is a cold war

Do you know what you’re fighting for?

This is a cold war

You better know what you’re fighting for

This is a cold

This is a cold war

You better know what you’re fighting for

Kelindo!

Do you know?

It’s a cold, cold

Do you?

Do you?

Do you?

It’s a cold, cold

You better know what you’re fighting for

Bye-bye, bye-bye

Don’t you cry when I say goodbye

Bye-bye, bye-bye

Don’t you cry when I say goodbye

Bye-bye, bye-bye

Don’t you cry when I say goodbye.
