Tekst piosenki
However many songs I`ve tried to write about love before
All they seem to get down to are songs about war
And I`m thankful for the sirens and the bombs
And the PUNISHMENT they already feel
Though sometimes I do regret that my wish had become so real
Cause they feel better with sleeves rolled up
They say you gotta work for love
And all the daughters from Arkansas
Will dedicate their lives to all these wars
If they are really working hard for love
Darling since I`ve met you I want to praise love in a language
Yet unheard
The only thing I can think of
Is the silliest of words
It is because or in spite of anticipations of oil wells on fire
No I don`t want to call the devil or the Anti-Christ
But lovers lead a double-life
Cause they feel better with sleeves rolled up
They say you gotta work for love
And all the daughters from Arkansas will devote their lives to stand by hospitals doors
Cause they`re really working hard for love
Too much of anything is no good they say
That`s what they have to say since they throw their bombs our way
It took them years at school, years at university, a bachelor`s degree
To make believe, to make us see that war is all we need
Cause they feel better with sleeves rolled up.
