lyrics

It's the opening scene of a Hollywood war
And it goes down exactly the same as before
They get you to fear then they get you to fight
They wink and they smile and distort what is right
While our youth come home in a pine, satin box
Serenaded with 21 shots

And you fight for your country then what do you get?
A medal, a flag, and a wage
Then you're tossed to the side like a used cigarette
To save those who cannot be saved

All you need is love

And it's a cruel, cruel world that'll take a young man
And expose him to things he can't quite comprehend
But a diet of pills helps to cope with the pain
And balance his mind from going insane
From fighting the demons of a President's war....

And how long will we allow our lives to be used
Like pawns for political gain
While change will continue to be just a word
Until we all stand and sing

All you need is love

Now I can't believe that this was part of the plan
It's a motive that I just won't comprehend
You used our trust like a two-dollar fraud
You used our God and you used their God
So damn your truth, it was greed in disguise
And your selfishness and bloodlust will be your demise

And I want to sing out with conviction and pride
That one day we'll all be okay
But it's so hard to fake what you just don't believe
So I learn to play the game

All you still need is love

Loners Society Charleston, South Carolina

While both of Megrue’s previous projects primarily emphasized their collective punk/country upbringings, the new EP from Loners Society takes that same honesty and sprinkles in a little bit of soul in what Megrue describes as, “southern-fried, indie rock and roll." ... more
