Cold War

It feels like years since we took to our hostile ways In this slow arms race the hours last for days Standing off we posture and fight for selfish pride We don't let each other in when it's so cold outside Me you red and blue Me you old and new Luck and fate Love, hate Wrong or right Fight The cold war We're fighting in the cold war A fool's attrition to win a pyrrhic victory Extort contrition to change the course of history A Russian doll of deceit defecting from the cause With enmity in our hands we fight our futile wars
