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, when you feel the hammer fall So whatcha gonna do
