Hey, hold on
One, two, three
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 nothing's gonna change (nothing's gonna change)
And nothing's gonna change (nothing'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
Anyway 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 nothing's gonna change (nothing's gonna change)
And nothing's gonna change (nothing'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 the soda, see what guy you're sitting behind
You get excited, the lights go down
You get it fed on a plate
It's a war
With the whole wide world
It's a war
With the boys and girls
It's a war
And nothing's gonna change (nothing's gonna change)
And nothing's gonna change (nothing'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 nothing's gonna change (nothing's gonna change)
And nothing's gonna change (nothing's gonna change)
