Cold War

notes:
Dog tags hanging from a hook
From a war that never happened
The year I became a veteran
The battles started up again
For a kid that grew up
Watching Vietnam on TV with a fear of being drafted
It’s ironic
For a kid that grew up watching Vietnam on TV
With a fear of being shot down
It’s ironic that
For a kid that grew up watching Vietnam on TV
With a fear of bayonets
It’s ironic that I signed up on my own
Trained and prepared for the war
The war that never happened
The war that never happened
If fear is my abuser then it must be true,
I’m in love with my abuser,
Even if I choose her
I didn’t have to dodge the draft or move to Canada
My timing happened to be just right
Where I never have to go and fight
A war that never happened
For a kid that grew up watching Vietnam on TV
With a fear of being drafted
It’s ironic
For a kid that grew up watching Vietnam on TV
With a fear of being shot down
It’s ironic that
For a kid that grew up watching Vietnam on TV
With a fear of bayonets
It’s ironic that I signed up on my own
Trained and prepared for war
The war that never happened
Trained and prepared for war
The war that never happened
Trained and prepared for war
The war that never happened
Trained and prepared for war
It’s not the first or the second war
or the Korean or Vietnam war
It is my old war, the cold war, the war inside of me
It's the war that never happened
