the way of the world

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
