The National Lyrics
"Start A War"

We expected something, something better than before.
We expected something more
Do you really think you can just put it in a safe behind a painting
Lock it up and leave
Do you really think you can just put it in a safe behind a painting
Lock it up and leave
Walk away now and you're gonna start a war

Whatever went away I'll get it over and then
I'll get money, I'll get funny again
Whatever went away I'll get it over and then
I'll get money, I'll get funny again
Walk away now and you're gonna start a war

We expected something, something better than before.
We expected something more
We were always weird but I never had to hold you by the edges
Like I do now
We were always weird but I never had to hold you by the edges
Like I do now
Walk away now and you're gonna start a war

Whatever went away I'll get it over and then
I'll get money, I'll get funny again
Whatever went away I'll get it over and then
I'll get money, I'll get funny again
Walk away now and you're gonna start a war
Walk away now and you're gonna start a war
