Now the future's staring at me
Like a vision from the past
And I know these crumbs they sold me
They're never going to last
Though we know the culture war
We don't know what it's for but
We've lived the southern strategy
You know it's never going to last
So keep it in the past

These are different times that we're living in
These are different times
Now the kids are growing up so fast
Paying for our crimes

You left while I was sleeping
You said, "It's down to me"
Oh I've read a little Bible
You see what you want to see
Oh, we know the culture war
We don't know what it's for but
We've lived your southern strategy
You know it's never going to last
So keep that shit in the past

These are different times that we're living in
Cause these are different times
Now the kids are growing up so fast
They're paying for our crimes

The dominos they never fell
But bodies they still burn
Throw my hand into the fire
But still I never learn
Will I ever learn?

That these are different times
Now the kids are growing up so fast
And paying for our crimes
We'll be soldiers for you, mommy and daddy
In your culture war
We'll be soldiers for you, mommy and daddy
But we don't know what it's for

We're soldiers now in the culture war
We're soldiers now, but we don't know what it's for
We're soldiers now in the culture war
We're soldiers now, but we don't know what it's for
So tell me what's it for

You want it? You got it, here's your culture war
You want it? Now you've got it, so tell me what's it for

    good song

    one thing i think it's "the dominos they never fell", maybe referencing the rationale for America's Vietnam intervention ("if one SEA country falls to the communists all others will fall like dominoes"); bodies burning could be both the Buddhist monk who self-immolated in 1963 and all the napalm victims

    culture war is imo about this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_war
