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.
