Call To Arms Lyrics

He drives a 90,000 dollar Jaguar to work everyday
He put his wife and kids in the zoo cause he had nothing left to do
Nothing left to do
Oh, boo-hoo-hoo, ooo-hoo-hoo
He bought a ticket for heaven, but it expired in June
The gun went off, but it was never on
The trigger to the finger, the finger to the trigger
One eye took the aim, just behind the man's brain
But who is to blame? I just think he's plain Jane
Plain, plain Jane

When I awoke my head was up off the ground
Nature spinning, oh, but she's makin no sound
Blessed she tells us all that she knows
Yeah, let the people live
Let the riches flow
I found, well, I found you at the fault
And it didn't mean nothing at all

You keep your money in stocks at the county garbage dump
You spend your days on tar at the local gas pump
You came in on your own and you'll leave all alone
You came in on your own and you'll leave all alone

As a start we off'd go down the path
Of feilds of gold, a vision that soon will pass
A great mistake, the diamond on his face
Black as night, where the coral snake will strike
But I found, well, I found, you at the fall
And it didn't mean nothing at all

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
