[Chorus]
War is coming
Coming for your sons
War is coming
Coming for your soul

[Verse 1]
I stepped into the TV room
Through a shadow hard and green
To my surprise I saw two dead eyes
Staring right back through the screen

[Chorus]
War is coming
Coming for your sons
War is coming
Coming for your soul

[Verse 2]
I read Sun Tzu and got two tattoos
To present my choice in fate
And even now every time I salute
My right hand reads "simply hate" (hey!)

[Chorus]
War is coming
Coming for your sons
War is coming
Coming for your song
[Bridge]
I was just a farmer once
With my ropes tied to my knees
Living off of the fat of the land
And doing whatever I pleased
I got my ticket mailed into town
Shipped down to New Orleans
My brother called me on the telephone
And said, "Man, kill you some Viet commies"

[Chorus]
War is coming
Coming for your sons
War is coming
Coming for your soul
War is coming
Coming for your sons
War is coming
Coming for your soul
