Lyrics

They're profiting from your worry
 They're selling blanks down at the DMZ
 They're banking on the sound and fury
 Makes you wonder what it all's got to do with me
 Bloodless for now
 ♪
 I'm keeping mine with the altruists
 Putting my weight behind the dancer
 I know it's hard to be an optimist
 When you trust least the ones who claim to have the answers
 It's an uncivil war
 It's an uncivil war
 It's an uncivil war
 Bloodless for now
 And the poets they explode like bombs
 (Bloodless for now)
 The gentry is drinking Moet Chandon
 (Bloodless for now)
 Turn around and quote a well known psalm
 Don't you worry 'bout the wicked
 Don't you envy those who do wrong
 And your innocence will be like the dawn
 While the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun
 ♪
 Well, the best lack all conviction
 And the worst keep
 Sharpening their claws
 They're peddling in their dark fictions
 While what's left of us, well, we just hem and we haw
 And it feels like 1936
 In Catalonia
 In Catalonia
 Bloodless for now
 Bloodless for now
 And the poets they explode like bombs
 (Bloodless for now)
 Drinking Moet Chandon
 (Bloodless for now)
 Turn around and quote a well known psalm
 Don't you worry 'bout the wicked
 Don't you envy those who do wrong
 And your innocence will be like the dawn
 While the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun
