about

A song about police abusing their powers, which has taken on a particular gravity to me in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement starting up

lyrics

A young man put his foot to the charge
A young man put his foot to the charge
He’s driving foolish, times are hard.
War returns.
Worried times – war returns, man.

There’s blood slick in his face and hair
Blood slick in his face and hair
Smell of burning tyres in the air.
Worried times – war returns.

There’s lights and sirens in the rear view
There’s lights and sirens in the rear view
Hard times, what’s a poor boy to do?
Worried times, war returns
Worried times.

It’s flat for miles, nowhere to run
It’s flat for miles, nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide but behind the barrel of a gun
War returns. War returns.
Yeah, it's worried time man.

There’s mad sweat in a young man’s eyes
Mad sweat in a young man’s eyes
Draws the barrel up to his eyes.
Worried times. War returns.

The shots pour down like rain
Pour down like a freezing rain
Open up the blood in a young man’s veins
War returns. War returns.

Clean up crew, he’s eagle spread.
These cops don’t talk, they shoot instead.
Hard times - another poor boy’s dead.
War returns - worried times.

War returns, and another poor boy’s dead.
