No One Won The War - Matt Maltese

The children going hungry

The footsies going old

A mother turns to drinking

And blacks out on a bus

And I guess no one won the war

It’s only 9am now but I already smell this town

The workers work for something

And there’s pills for feeling down

And I guess no one won the war

The new day is now done

Did you hear another gun?

Some folks had their fun

There’s an awful lot of blood

Let’s go to the club now

And take another drug

It’s kind of shit but the bass is loud

And I’m drowning by the sub

And I guess no one won the war

A man tried to trust money

And be skeptical of love

Money’s his true mistress

While his wife is just a front

And I guess no one won the war

The new day is now done

Did you hear another gun?

Some folks had their fun

There’s an awful lot of blood
