Everything’s Coming Up Roses
The war effort just got sexier
The defence ministry hired pretty ladies
To inspect the munitions
Conditions behind the barricades
Deteriorated daily
Men in uniform can't wait for their
Walking papers
their next drunken caper
The government says lasting peace is a tall order
The light crawls through closing windows
Inhabitants laugh about being a solitary thorn that
Pricks our noses
But everything's coming up roses
But everything's coming up roses
Here on the home front men
Keep dying on the inside
Joseph struggled for every last dime
During his formative years he shed many
Self-pitying tears
During happy hour one July
He announced he was joining the fight
If I stay in this place
I can never win the horse race within the rat race,
in her dreams at night
She heard agonizing screams, she couldn't
Plug her ears once the sound of bullets came
calling, the application form made no mention
of his allergy to pollen
It took half a decade for Mary to gain perspective
Now she has a clever reply for her embroiled guy,
life is for the living it doesn't matter if you give
and get love in such small doses
Because everything's coming up roses
Everything's coming up roses
On his first leave a mosquito
Flew into her mojito
The pained look on his face told her
The love of her life was incognito
It took a while to recover from post
Traumatic stress, yet they've chosen
the path to revival wisely, everything's
coming up, everything's coming up roses
