lyrics
You can mount a great defense
Like they did at Stalingrad
When the smoke has finally cleared
You’re going to wish you never had
It’s all tactics and logistics
In this battle of attrition
I am happy to inform you
I have stockpiled ammunition
You rejected a dialogue
Wouldn't meet me at the table
I didn’t want things to end up like this
There’s no shame in an armistice
I don’t need your lengthy speeches
You can save the big dramatics
In the end I will drag you
All the way to Appomattox
There will be a big parade
With confetti in the streets
We will cap the celebration
With champagne and rumpled sheets
I didn’t want things to end up like this
There’s no shame in an armistice
Like they did at Stalingrad
When the smoke has finally cleared
You’re going to wish you never had
It’s all tactics and logistics
In this battle of attrition
I am happy to inform you
I have stockpiled ammunition
You rejected a dialogue
Wouldn't meet me at the table
I didn’t want things to end up like this
There’s no shame in an armistice
I don’t need your lengthy speeches
You can save the big dramatics
In the end I will drag you
All the way to Appomattox
There will be a big parade
With confetti in the streets
We will cap the celebration
With champagne and rumpled sheets
I didn’t want things to end up like this
There’s no shame in an armistice
