When I sing about love and war, I don't really know what I'm saying
I've been in love and I've seen a lot of war, seen a lot of people prayin'
They pray to Allah and they pray to the Lord, and mostly they pray about love and war

Pray about love and war
Seen a lot of young men go to war and leave a lot of young brides waiting
I've watched them try to explain it to their kids, seen a lot of them failing
They try to tell them and they try to explain why daddy won't ever come home again
Daddy won't ever come home
Daddy won't ever come home
I've said a lot of things that I can't take back, but I don't really know if I want to
I've sung songs about love I've sung songs about war since the backstreets of Toronto
I sang for justice and I hit a bad chord, but I still try to sing about love and war

I made a mistake and I did it again, and we struggle to recover
I sang in anger, hit another bad chord, but I still try to sing about love and war

Hitchhiker

When I was a hitchhiker on the road I had to count on you
Em
G
D
Em
But you needed me to ease the load and for conversation too
D
C
Em
Or did you just pass on through?
You didn't see me in Toronto when I first tried out some hash
Smoked through a pen I'd do it again, but I didn't have the cash
I didn't have the cash
Then I tried amphetamine and my head was in a glass
Taped underneath the speedometer wires of my '48 Buick's dash
But I knew that wouldn't last

In the land of opportunity, I knew I was getting hotter
D

I knew I was getting hotter
But the neon lights and the endless nights, fame took me by surprise
The doctor gave me Valium but I still couldn't close my eyes
I still couldn't close my eyes
Then came paranoia and it ran away with me
I couldn't sign my autograph or appear on TV
Or see or be seen
Living in the country sounded good to me
Smoking grass while the summer passed in the real organic scene
Where everything was green
Then we had a kid and we split apart, I was living on the road
And a little cocaine went a long long way to ease that different load
And my head did explode, my head did explode
I wish I was an Aztec or a runner in Peru
I would build such beautiful buildings to house the chosen few
Like an Inca from Peru
How many years have come and gone, like friends and enemies?
I tried to leave my past behind, but it's catching up with me
It's catching up with me
I don't know how I'm standing here, living in my life
I'm thankful for my children and my faithful wife
When I was a hitchhiker on the road I had to count on you

A rain of fire came down upon the wagons
