This Uncivil War
Martina Mcbride Song Lyrics
(Gretchen Peters) There's a silence on the front lines You can cut it with a knife You can stay and take your changes Or you can run to save your life And one side is retreating And the other's runnin scared And the drums of war are beating Ever through its undeclared And both sides say they're winning And both sides know they're losing And neither one knows that they're fighting for And in the quiet little places You can see the little faced Huddled right outside the bedroom door Praying for an end to this uncivil war Papa needs a new job So he's swallowing his pride Oh, but it don't go down easy And it eats him up inside And mama, she don't notice Little sister's ragged dress Lately she don't notice Much of anything I guess Both sides say they're winning And both sides know they're losing And neither one knows that they're fighting for And in the quiet little places You can see the little faced Huddled right outside the bedroom door Praying for an end to this uncivil war They're just fightin off the hunger Tryin to keep from goin under But the wolves just keep on Gatherin' round the door There's no place to run for cover So they're turning on each other Cause there really ain't no winners anymore Just victims of this uncivil war There's a silence on the front life's You can cut it with a knife You can stay and take your chances Or you can run to save your life |
