over now

you said you'd give me love
instead you caused me pain
you made me curse an' slam the door
an' hang my head in shame

but, it's over now, it's over now

you talked to me of virtue
an' sang a song so sweet
but, all i know is i could smell the perfume of deceit
an' it's over now, it's over now

you told me of your innocence
an' i believed it all
but, your best friend is your vanity
an' the mirror on the wall

it's over now

i turned away from what i heard
an' everything i saw
but, now i see the light of day
i release the dog of war

so whatcha gonna do when the truth pays you a call
how you gonna feel, when you finally lose it all
how you gonna look, standing up against the wall
whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna say, when you feel the hammer fall, i'm gonna see you crawl

you took your pills an' washed them down
an' then you talked for hours
i tried to build a garden
but, you trampled all the flowers

an' it's over now

wanting this, needing that
always after more
now that it's all over
i release the dog of war

i release the dog of war

so whatcha gonna do when the truth pays you a call
how you gonna look, standing up against the wall
whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna say
when you feel the hammer fall

whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna say, standing up against the wall
so whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna say, mamma, when you feel the hammer fall
so whatcha gonna do
