Blow Up the World Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sit thinking of blood and wine
Red roses won't get you to sleeping faster
Cold evenings with icy cries
Afraid that the memories aren't lasting
[Pre Chorus 1]
I'm counting the days til summer
I can't wait til the nights are shorter
Cause I
Just want to be young and free
Why can't you come home with me?
[Chorus]
So blow up the world
Break it in pieces
It will keep turning ‘round
Vacant and useless
[Verse 2]
They're sitting with broken hearts
Eyes shut but they say it's a celebration
Remember them while you can
Flowers fading til nothing will mean anything
[Pre Chorus 2]
The next war will be really something
We'll get all the things we always dreamed of
Pleading with a red rose deal
Why can't you come home with me?
[Chorus]
So blow up the world
Break it in pieces
It will keep turning ‘round
Vacant and useless
So blow up the world
Break it in pieces
It will keep turning ‘round
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh-oh oh
So blow up the world
Break it in pieces
It will keep turning ‘round
Vacant and useless
So blow up the world
Break it in pieces
It will keep turning ‘round
[Outro]
Blow up the world
Blow up the world
Vacant and useless
Blow up the world
Blow up the world
It will keep turning ‘round
