  Dear Mom and Dad  Dear Mom and Dad
  Here's why I can't come home  Here's why I can't come home
  I can talk to either one of you just fine  I can talk to either one of you just fine
  When it's either one, alone  When it's either one, alone
      
  But the Thanksgiving table  But the Thanksgiving table
  Is going to be pulled out bigger  Is going to be pulled out bigger
  If we talk at all  If we talk at all
  One of you will pull the trigger  One of you will pull the trigger
      
  I used to run those battle lines  I used to run those battle lines
  Trying to smooth over what got said  Trying to smooth over what got said
  Trying to get a medal  Trying to get a medal
  Trying to get some shrapnel in my head  Trying to get some shrapnel in my head
1   1
  Thought it was my duty  Thought it was my duty
1  To plead and to implore   to plead and to implore 1
  But I caught too much crossfire  But I caught too much crossfire
  In your covert war  In your covert war
      
2  Television talks         fills the air   The television talks, fills the air 2
  So you don't have to start  So you don't have to start
3  You claim your territories in the rooms upstairs   You claim you territories in the rooms upstairs 3
  To keep yourselves apart  To keep yourselves apart
      
4  Holy days, they bring us all together   Holy days they bring us all together 4
  After so much left unsaid  After so much left unsaid
  You taught us well not to kick under the table  You taught us well not to kick under the table
  Kick under your breath instead  Kick under your breath instead
      
  I used to stand between you  I used to stand between you
  Trying to smooth over what got said  Trying to smooth over what got said
  Trying to get a medal  Trying to get a medal
  Trying to get some shrapnel in my head  Trying to get some shrapnel in my head
      
  Thought it was my duty  Thought it was my duty
  To plead and to implore  To plead and to implore
  But I caught too much crossfire  But I caught too much crossfire
  In your covert war  In your covert war
      
5  Of course there was the anger where the love is strong   Of coarse there was the anger                               5
6  Spilled like gasoline               where the love is strong 6
7  It's crude but it's a power we can draw upon   It spilled like gasoline                                7
4  It's crude but its a power we can draw upon4
  If it fuels the right machine  If it fuels the right machine
      
  I love you and I'd never want to see you bleed  I love you and I'd never want to see you bleed
  When comments cut like steel  When comments cut like steel
8  So to hold your fire I'd block the shot and take the hit for you   So to hold your fire I'd                                                  8
5  block the shot and take the5
6  hit for you6
  As if I could not feel  As if I could not feel
      
  I thought they'd passed right through me  I thought they'd passed right through me
9  And I had no scars to hide   That I had no scars to hide 9
10  Now      I open up and try to love   But now I open up and try to love 10
  And I find they're still inside  And I find they're still inside
      
11  'Cause I used to run those battle lines           I used to run those battle lines 11
12  Trying to plead,      to implore   trying to plead and to implore 12
13  Please won't you hold the cease fire out a little longer   Please won't you hold the cease                               13
7  fire out a little longer7
  Until the next uproar  Until the next uproar
      
  I took it all in childhood  I took it all in childhood
  But I can't take it no more  But I can't take it no more
14  'Cause I caught too much crossfire   'cause I caught too much crossfire 14
  In your covert war   In your covert war
