I don’t wanna be no soldier – I don’t wanna shoot no gun I don’t wanna drop no bomb – I don’t wanna hurt no one I don’t wanna fight no battles – I don’t wanna settle no score I don’t even understand – what we’re fightin’ for No it ain’t my war
That’s the way of the world – that’s what they tell me That’s the way of the world – they can’t sell me That’s the way of the world – I can’t explain it That’s the way of the world – but we can change it
We’re burnin up the ozone layer – we’re walkin’ on a real thin wire Stirrin’ up a hurricane – playin’ with the devil’s fire Got a lot of dirty water – got a lot of dirty air Got skeletons in the closet – but nobody looks in there ‘Cause they’re all scared
That’s the way of the world – that’s what they tell me That’s the way of the world – they can’t sell me That’s the way of the world – I can’t explain it That’s the way of the world – but we can change it
I just wanna live in peace now – with my guitar and my girl Raise a little family – that’s way it’s supposed to be That’s the way of the world – yeah That’s the way of the world That’s the way of the world
That’s the way of the world – that’s what they tell me That’s the way of the world – they can’t sell me That’s the way of the world – I can’t explain it That’s the way of the world – but we can change it
That’s the way of the world That’s the way of the world
