lyrics
Battle/Feel
Words & Music by John DeLore
Down in the battlefield naked as a jaybird
Don’t put me down till you had enough
Sufferin’ in the sunshine, laughing in the shadows
Don’t really matter till you let it all go
Nobody loves a hero baby until they’re dead and gone.
And peace may come to the people on the mountain
But they don’t really know how it feels to be
Born in the battlefield, livin in the battlefield,
Lovin in the battlefield, learnin' to feel.
Laughin in the battlefield, cryin’ in the battlefield.
Lovin in the battlefield, learnin' to feel.
Back in the neighborhood, bodies on a backbeat.
We are the daughters of a holy ghost.
Hands up, hands down, candles on a higher ground,
Don’t really matter till you let it all go.
Nobody loves a hero baby until they’re dead and gone.
And peace may come to the people on the mountain
But they don’t really know how it feels to be
Born in the battlefield, livin in the battlefield,
Lovin in the battlefield, learnin' to feel.
Laughin in the battlefield, cryin’ in the battlefield,
Lovin in the battlefield, learnin' to feel.
Runnin' from the sunshine, she don’t care.
Runnin' from the sunshine, she don’t care.
