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, me
It 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 change
It`s sister and brother, mother and daughter
Father, son, husband, wife, thing
It`s drugs, it`s hunger
It`s race, sex, and government
Any way you look at it, you`re part of it, you know it
The wrong inside you, can`t get it right
You might as well get on the train
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 change
The screen is so white, and it`s so big
It`s hard to get over the feeling, you`re losing your mind
You offer the usher your ticket
You open your soda, see what guy you`re sitting behind
You get excited, the lights go down
You get a > on the plane
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 change
It`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 change
