Allies, fire in the sky,
Splinters in the eye--
Don't know any better

Keep your arsenal at bay,
Live another day--
Pull yourself together

Every war you want to win,
There's nothing to defend--
Nothing to surrender

I don't want to fight alone
No one does

[Chorus]

Hey, look high and we look low,
We never find our enemy,
We never find our enemy
Somehow this war is out of control,
We never find our enemy,
We're gunning down whatever breathes

Last try, cross enemy lines,
Look out for the mines--
Buried in the mirror

Fall out, target's on the move,
Coming into view--
Coming in clearer

By now, there's no one else around,
Narrowing it down,
I guess I got to figure

One war is all I can afford,
No more

[Chorus]

Hey, look high and we look low,
We never find our enemy,
We never find our enemy
Somehow this war is out of control,
We never find our enemy,
We're gunning down whatever breathes

There we go
Wasting lives one way or another
There we go
Vacant eyes rearranging their color

    Is it possible it's about the war on terror? Or is war an analogy for something else?
