Truce

You can have Washington

I'll take New Jersey

You can have London

But I want New York City

I should get providence

I've got a job now

Los Angeles, obvious

That's where you belong now

You can have Africa

Asia, Australia

As long as you keep your hands off

Cafe Pamplona

We can split Germany

Right down the middle

You'd hate it there anyway

Take Berlin

And we'll call it even

You can have all of the carry-on baggage

I'll trade the saskia jokes for the alphabet language

And special occasions we'll split between parents

Who forced us to hate them on alternating weekends

You call it over and I call you psycho

Significant other

Just say we were lovers and we'll call it even

We'll call it even

I am the ground zero ex-friend you ordered

Disguised as a hero to get past your borders

I know when I'm wanted

I'll leave if you ask me to

Mind my own business

And speak when I'm spoken to

I am the tower around which you orbited

I am not proud I am just taking orders

I fall to the ground within hours of impact

I hit back when hit

And attack when attacked

You get route two between Concord and Lexington

I want Mass Ave. from the square to my apartment

And if we should meet through some misunderstanding

I'll be very sweet very patient and forgiving

Now get off my side of the state

And if we should see one another in passing

Despite these techniques

There is sometimes no avoiding

There must be some kind of mistake

We'll raise high the white flags

And bow heads and shake hands

Declaring the land we're on unamerican

We'll call it even

We'll call it even

I am the tower around which you orbited

I am not proud I am just taking orders

I fall to the groud within hours of impact

I hit back when hit

And attack when attacked

I am an accident waiting to happen

I'm laughing like mad if you strangle the captain

My place may be taken, but make no mistake

From a little black box

I can say without shame

That you've lost

That you've lost

Do you know what you've lost

So take whatever you'd like

I'll strike like the States on fire

You won't sleep very tight

No hiding, no safe cover

Make your bed now lie

Just like you always do

You can fake it for the papers

But I'm on to you

I'm on to you

So take whatever you'd like

I'll strike like the States on fire

You won't sleep very tight

No hiding, no safe covers

Make your bed and now lie

Just like you always do

You can fake it for the papers

But I'm on to you

I'm on to you

I'm on to you

I'm on to you
