Lyrics

We drew a border
On a map in a room
30,000 feet up from the ground

Signed a treaty with some pens
That live in a museum
Only middle schoolers care now

The UN threw us out
When I threw my coffee at your face
Gave you minor second degree burns
You’d just broken my heart
And they could never know
To cover it all up we went to war

I got my guns from Israel
Planes from Canada
Bombs and missiles from the USA

You got a dirty nuke
It came from Pakistan
Or maybe the black market in Iran

A single word was all it took
A drone made for the home
I’m an EPA superfun local
Our allies launched into the fray
Switzerland took my side
That was cause enough for us to fight

The UN threw us out
When I threw coffee at your face
Gave you minor second degree burns

You’d just broken my heart
And they could never know
To cover it all up we went to war

In the DMZ
At the ambassador’s wedding
We settled for a skeptical detente

I avoided your sidelong glance
From across the room
And signed the guestbook in my scripted font

I agreed to grant you amnesty
After the night your assassin tried
And failed to take me out
I eviscerated him
In the court of public opinion
Now he’s a monk in Bulgaria 

I know you picked him because 
He would not succeed
I guess there is some part of you 
that’s still in love with me
That’s just not enough 
for an armistice
Because we started world war fucking three

I still hate seeing your name 
Every single day
I just need to find a way for me to be okay

This is no way to live
I can’t call this my life
For the sake of all of us
Let’s give up this fight

The UN threw us out
When I threw coffee at your face
And gave you minor second degree burns

You’d just broken my heart
And they could never know
To cover it all up we went to war
To cover it all up we went to war
To cover it all up we went to war
