Elbow - The Long War Shuffle lyrics

The times they are a-changing back
And, oh, the heat is rising
I heard a million knuckles crack

Is it so surprising?

I'm so sick of waiting
And I know you feel the same
I'm not getting any younger
And I know you feel the same

So everyone dance as if you didn't care
And everyone move, pretend it isn't there
Take a deep breath on leaving the floor
And lock all the doors
It's going to be a long, long war

I'm so sick of waiting
And I know you feel the same
I'm not getting any younger
But the soldiers are

So everyone dance as if you didn't care
And everyone move, pretend it isn't there
Take a deep breath on leaving the floor
And lock all the doors
It's going to be a long, long war
Long war, long war, long war
Again, again, again, again
