lyrics

Everybody put down your guns it’s your commander in chief
I know everyone is choking back tears from the smell of defeat
Now we’re stuck in a trench as the battle goes on
The will of the king’s not the will of the pawn
Hour after hour does a lot to empower a desperate prayer
I gotta think big picture we got a chance at victory I declare
So put down your guns and shut off for the night
Dream a sweet a dream there’s an end in sight
We gotta stay cool
Now what’s the matter?
What could you be after?
What’s the longest you have ever held back laughter?
Who’s the king and master of this cold disaster?
Why have all the virgins left for greener pastures?
Listen up I just got the word we’re going in for the final kill
See what we’ve been training for, someone else’s metaphor unfulfilled
When everything’s gone we’ll have nothing to lose
This sounds like an offer we can’t refuse
We won’t surrender
We can’t surrender
We’ll never surrender
