Paper Cities lyrics

We sent them all across the ocean Many lives were taken Well I didn't cry, I didn't know them And I just looked on with no expression This land was once a home Of friends and family We used to know They are all gone now They are now gone And for what I cannot tell Put down your banners and flowers This war you've made won't last Your country, just lines on a map They're drawn up, they don't last The paper cities burning The ashes fell like rain But when the fire was over Everything had changed The people come together Reminds us we're the same Put down banners and flowers This war you've made won't last Your country, just lines on a map They're' drawn up, but they don't last
