how i won the war Lyrics

The head of a great feathered serpent represents the god, Quetzalcoatl

When Quetzalcoatl finished his mission on Earth

He departed to his native star

Promising to come back some day

I hate the flesh that holds these bones

I want a new vessel when I go home

Maybe next time I'll be made of silver

My clothes will shine like chrome

I'm sick of sticking out my neck

Just to get my head cut off

Hey man, you used to be so tough

Look at you now

You've grown soft

The cigars you smoke

That's what's gonna give you cancer

But, you, just don't care

You don't cheat off anybody's answers

Tryna fast forward to the end

But there's no tape player to depend

On, desperately in need

Of a friend

I'm not sure, if it came to be known

How I won the war, on that day it snowed

But it's, probably not worth your time

Anyway

Trying to be more comfortable

Reconstruct into your table

Straight out of some fairy tale

Like some myth, like some fable

Brought out like a sacrificial lamb

Who tried, to cut off both his hands

Now he walks around like Captain Hook

Waiting for his Peter Pan

If it's not for the visually impaired

I'm sorry but the ministry just doesn't care

Maybe if you'll let 'em, tie you to a chair

And watch you shave off all that hair

When I won the war, I was all alone

Crying on the shore like some kind of TV show

When I woke, there was nothing that I could know

It was, just, me and that dial tone
