Cold Civil War

If I learned anything good in school
It's that everything comes back around
And when it all hits our prerogative
Is stacking up the wood on the side of the house
Handle in palm, bring her down strong
Haven't we been here before?
Axe the axe to find out
We're living in a cold civil war

Calling in the cattle
There's a dog in a crimson cap
And over the fence the grass is green
And all of the sheep are black
Storming the barn, taking up arms
I know that you've heard it before
Read it and believe it
We're living in a cold civil war

And I participate by making friends who feel the same
About the weather, about the state, about which term to terminate
About which rat will win the race
Bout who to love and who to

If learned anything good in school
It's that sharing is caring, so dish it out
But now we've got it backwards
Put the horse behind the plow
I would like to raise a white flag
Put an end to keeping score
Start doing the dishes
And end the cold civil war
