lyrics

Civility (Political Song For Rick Springfield to Sing)
It’s too late to talk truce tonight
worn out by the war on our final reserves
face down on the frontline forcing the fight
surviving in the shadow of our shattered nerves

Who’d be the first to stand up to be shot down
Who’d be the first to retreat
Who’d send a message over enemy lines
And surrender to civility

It’s too late to take high ground tonight
Tried everything short of a Trojan Horse
Nowhere to lie under the true moonlight
Each side willing to die to be right of course

Who’d be the first to stand up to be shot down
Who’d be the first to retreat
Who’d send a message over enemy lines
And surrender to civility

Maybe we could stop the bleeding if we just decide
It would be better if we both got out of here alive
Swallow your silver dagger, I’ll put away my spoiled pride
we’ll lay our arms across this unbridgeable divide,
there’s something worth it waiting for us on the other side

Who’d be the first to stand up to be shot down
Who’d be the first to retreat
Who’d send a message over enemy lines
And surrender to civility
