I was a mess in my open eyed youth
I grew up thinking
What's good for one, oppresses the other
It's my turn, my life, my way, mine, meIt made me crazy
I couldn't fight it
I couldn't wait to get away
It's a war
With the whole wide world
It's a war
With the boys and girls
It's a war
And nothin's gonna change
And nothin's gonna changeIt's sister and brother, mother and daughter
Father, son, husband, wife, thingIt's drugs, it's hunger
It's race, sex, and government
Any way you look at it, you're part of it, you know itThe wrong inside you, can't get it right
You might as well get on the trainIt's a war
With the whole wide world
It's a war
With the boys and girls
It's a war
And nothin's gonna change
And nothin's gonna changeThe screen is so white, and it's so big
It's hard to get over the feeling, you're losing your mindYou offer the usher your ticket
You open your soda, see what guy you're sitting behindYou get excited, the lights go down
You get a > on the planeIt's a war
With the whole wide world
It's a war
With the boys and girls
It's a war
And nothin's gonna change
And nothin's gonna changeIt's a war
All the give and take
It's a war
All the love and hate
It's a war
And nothin's gonna change
And nothin's gonna change
And nothin's gonna change
And nothin's gonna change
And nothin's gonna change
And nothin's gonna changeNothin's gonna change
Nothin's gonna change
Nothin's gonna change
