Rancid - Start Now lyrics

Another lesson has been learned
In this day's modern times
Strangers in the mist appear
Now there's war all the time
Systematically go and destroy
Commit another atrocity
Aggressors are in their places
Man made catastrophe

I'm not looking for a fight now
And I don't care who's wrong or right now
So release the dove into flight now
So we can start right now
We can start right now

A small key's gonna open the door
Across the border to a new land
And in the new land a sand storm roars
Under spell and the ghost of a man
On the back of many warriors they stand
Their prayers fall upon deaf ears
Machiavelli owns a machine gun now
And a shill in a mask and a puppeteer

I'm not looking for a fight now
And I don't care who's wrong or right now
So release the dove into flight now
So we can start right now
We can start right now

Humility has no play in this case
In a big game of chess for us all
Hostility explodes in a mess
Now you all got blood all over the wall
And clarity turns to dark
Blindfolded prisoners of war
And solidarity, on the razor's edge
Boy, what? You're a big puncher now, right?
Yeah? ha! nah I don't fucking think so!

I'm not looking for a fight now
And I don't care who's wrong or right now
So release the dove into flight now
So we can start right now
We can start right now
