Say what you want ‘bout controversy
I don’t really see the point
Bad PR is Good PR
And I’d hate to disappoint
But I’ve built my legacy
On not going bad for coin
So I’ll build my islands
And throw my parties
Til my story becomes disjoint
I don’t walk around overthrowing kings
Like some of the others do
Building towers and bunkers and hideouts
Like they got something to prove
I once would say that it’s overrated
Endless wars for us to persue
But peaceful people don’t get animated
So here I’ve got some plot for you
Someone had decided, someone made the rules
War and blood and fighting are the instruments of fools
Yet everyday on the battlefield they try and win and lose
I’ve been living, found the answer, and yet they refuse
You hear about a war, you hear they’re fighting over land
I know I’m not a general, I’ve no army to command
If I only matter with a sword in hand
What’s the point in winning if you never understand?
Why don’t we talk about my drama
Or lack thereof?
Is it not enough to build and to fall in love?
Every war story needs to hurt someone
And if not the lovers then it won’t be fun
What’s the problem, aren’t we all playing pretend?
Can’t survive without a conflict to depend
There’s a time and there’s a place and both I would not reccomend
But if this is what will bring me fame I guess I can attend
I never wanted to be
What they wanted of me
I am not a soldier
I was already free
But if you don’t ignite
And don’t buy into their fight
Then you’re of no use to them
How can that be right?
Always stuck in the background
Yet our hands are intertwined
I can live here forever
But without this I might die
Cuz they’ll never know my name
Thats all you want, in the end
So is it worth the fame?
Fine- guess I’ll play pretend
Why don’t we talk about my karma
Or lack thereof?
Is it not enough to smile and to fall in love?
Every war hero needs to be someone
And if not the lover then it won’t be fun
Battleaxe and reputation til the end
Can’t survive without a conflict to defend
There’s a time and there’s a place at which to die with friends
Cuz if this is what will bring me glory full steam ahead
I don’t really see the point
