War!

by Zach Callison

on A Picture Perfect Hollywood Heartbreak (2018)

(That's alright, that's okay)

[Verse 1]
A wise man once said time is money
So how much money did I lose to you honey?
I find it kinda funny
You wanna keep this feud running
But I'm glad I'm on your mind
So keep that cannon fire coming, woah

Ok, right, let's fight in the late night
For a while, go wild, this is juvenile as skate night
You don't know how to play nice
My little Chiquita, señorita, Juanita
Apple of my eye
In the eye of the storm
Guns and bombs to keep us torn
Least your napalm will keep me warm
To your new boy let he be warned
You're her new toy for blood and gore

(What, you didn't know?)

[Chorus]
So this is war
Isn't that what love is for
Blood and gore
Is all I get for being yours
Two heathens ruled by demons
That sneak through the trenches in our hearts
Oh no, no, no, no
No surrender from the day we part
I'll be damned if I can't finish what I start

[Instrumental Break]
Oh, oh, oh, Ow!

[Verse 2]
Oh so you wanna go to war now
Gonna resume your tour now
Lusting for my heart and tear out some more now
Busting out the charts and oxen carts
The moment we start to fall apart to the core

(Wow!)

These guns are loud like thunderclouds
So I leave for underground to flee the sound
Of music, your music
Your music that you use as war music
Them idyllic days are over
I'm composing more music—
Than you, you choose: use it or lose it
Expression as a weapon
I do choose to abuse it

Check the presses on my record
Feel where my grooves is
Talk about depression and chemical abuses
And nooses, feeling useless
Hey take this, you could use it
But you'd probably break it
Cry bout how you'll never make it
Goodness gracious
We've been waiting on your album for ages
No traces, and baby
They've already ran outta patience

[Juanita]
What?

[Zach]
Juanita, we're still waiting...

[Refrain]
But that's alright, that's okay
You barely wrote em anyway
Half your songs got thrown away
Like ballots on voting day
Oh my ballads got more to say
Like a bullet to a motorcade

[Verse 3]
Sit down with me
And sign this armistice
Get your big proboscis
Outta my sh*t, miss
The litmus of our difference
Is you going hitless
While my record's spinning like a discus
Throwing sh*tfits while I go the distance

Welcome to the new me
Paint your nails black and unscrew me
But that's okay Juanita
Know my business is booming
Live vicariously through me
Just as embarrassing as it was
When you knew me
Slander, propaganda?
Groovy


[Chorus]
Cause this is war
Isn't that what love is for
(You feel me?)
Blood and gore
Is all I get for being yours
Two heathens ruled by demons
That sneak through the trenches in our hearts
Oh no, no, no, no
No surrender from the day we part
I'll be damned if I can't finish what I start

[Bridge]
(That's alright, that's okay)
(That's alright, that's okay)
(That's alright, that's okay)
(That's alright, that's okay)
(That's alright, that's okay)
(That's alright, that's okay)
(That's alright, that's okay)
(That's alright, that's okay)
You barely wrote em anyway

[Outro]
Oh
C'mon now
You barely wrote em
Barely wrote em anyway
That's alright, that's okay baby
This is what you wanted right?
Sing

You barely wrote em anyway
That's alright that's okay
C'mon
We're coming for you
Juanita, Juanita, Juanita, Juanita, Juanita, Juanita, Juanita, ahhhhhhhh
