Gerrit Welmers & William Cashion & Samuel T. Herring & Michael Lowry (drummer)Born in a War Lyrics
It’s all so temporary
Life’s work, don’t play that way
Life’s more than cash and carry
All your guns, to your grave
Is it too much to carry?
Is it too much to ask you why?
I have a sinking feeling I know why
I have a sinking feeling I know
Born to an insensitive fool
You’ve been damned by
You’re scared
When a strong man cries
Is when a strong man dies
Raised up in a town that’s 80 proof
Shotgun shells under every roof -- every jail
Didn’t learn a lot from public schools
All our books went off to wars -- they could sell
Is it too much to carry?
Is it too much to run and hide?
And what's too much to bury?
Is it too much to ask you why?
I have a sinking feeling I know why
I have a sinking feeling I know
Swore you an impossible dream
You’ve been damned by
You swear
That when a strong man cries
Is when a strong man dies
You’re scared
That when a strong man cries
Is when a strong man dies
But a strong man cries
A strong man cries
Just look into this strong man’s eyes
Look into a strong man’s eyes
Look into a strong man's eyes
Raised up in a town that’s 80 proof
Shotgun shells under every roof
Bloody hell

What did Future Islands say about "Born in a War"?
I work completely off feeling and vibe. I don’t really have an agenda—the world is an inspiration, especially right now. To me, gun violence in America is a huge issue. And growing up—where me and [keyboardist] Gerrit [Welmers] and [bassist] William [Cashion] grew up—everybody has guns and everybody...
