(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 nothings 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
Any way 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 nothings 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 bad on the plane

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 nothings 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 nothings gonna change (nothing's gonna change)

And nothing's gonna change (nothing's gonna change)
And nothing's gonna change (nothing's gonna change)
And nothing's gonna change (nothing's gonna change)
And nothing's gonna change (nothing's gonna change)

Nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna change
