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

Nothin´s gonna change
Nothin´s gonna change
Nothin´s gonna change
Nothin´s gonna change
