When he was just a little boy
He only had one favorite toy
And he had nothing on his mind
He never left anything behind, noAs he got older, things got worse
Like he had been born under a curse
Things started to fall apart
They went like they were at the start, no, ohhIt's like a civil war, growing up
It's like a civil war, don't turn away
It's something you can't ignore
Growing up, it's like a civil warAnd now that he was in his teens
He started to learn live of his means
Probably to stay in here
And they didn't look like disappearin', no, ohhIt's like a civil war, growing up
It's like a civil war, don't turn away
It's something you can't ignore, growing upGrowing up, it's like a civil war
Don't turn away
It's something you can't ignoreGrowing up, it's like a civil war
Don't turn away
It's something you can't ignore
Growing up, it's like a civil war
