作词 : Peters Lyrics：Gretchen Peters Music：Gretchen Peters There's a silence on the front lines You can cut it with a knife You can stay and take your chances Or you can run to save your life One side is retreating And the other's runnin' scared And the drums of war are beating Even though it's undeclared. Chorus: And both sides say they're winning And both sides know they're losing And neither one knows what they're fightin' for And in the quiet little places You can see the little faces Huddled right outside the bedroom door Praying for an end to this uncivil war. Papa needs a new job So he's swallowing his pride Oh, but it don't go down easy And it eats him up inside And Mama, she don't notice Little sister's ragged dress Lately she don't notice Much of anything I guess Chorus: They're just fightin' off the hunger Trying to keep from going under But the wolves just keep on Gatherin' 'round the door There's no place to run for cover So they're turning on each other 'Cause there really ain't no winners anymore Just victims in this uncivil war. There's a silence on the front lines You can cut it with a knife You can stay and take your chances Or you can run to save your life
