lyrics

Let's start a war
Against everything that we abhor
Let's start a fight
And make it right if you don't mind
Let's start a war ahaaa

Let's be the queens,
be the soldiers, the cavaliers
Let's try to make them sing until they tear

Let's start a war, let's start a war...

A war of Love

Let's march ahead
With our banners in the wind
Let's be the thread
Oh I m sure we ll win
Let's start a war, start a war

A war of Love

We've marched ahead, our heads up high
Only to be met by your disdain
Your violence, your...
Your hideous-ness exploded in our face
In the quiet of our sacred homes
But we ‘re still standing
In this war, this war of love
