It's a War
As someone smacked me
I started breathing
Then I took a look around
(Yeah I took a look around)
Dying strangers
They surround me
I stood there looking down
Yes I did, stood the looking down
One, two, ready, go
I'm really not ready for this
I'm not ready, not ready for this
It's a war, it's a war
And you better get used to it
It's a war, it's a war
And that's just the way it is
It's a war
It's a war
Here we go
Four, three, two, one
For your prison
Called it high school
Yeah that's some devastating shit
(Yeah that's some devastating shit all right)
Mom's been drinkin
And Dad keeps leaving
I've seen him a' run, yes I did
Yeah I've seen him a' run
One, two, ready, go
I'm really not ready for this
I'm not ready, not ready for this
It's a war, it's a war
And you better get used to it
It's a war, it's a war
And that's just the way it is
It's a war
It's a war
Go!
You get fooled by the flowers and tricked by the sun
But you better hold on to whatever you love
And don't you believe what you see is what you get
And never forget, never forget
It's a war, it's a war
And you better get used to it
It's a war, it's a war
And that's just the way it is
It's a war, outside my bedroom door
It's a war, outside my bedroom door, let's go
