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 me.
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.
We got a lot of dirty water
we got a lot of dirty air,
got skeletons in the closet
but nobody looks in there
cuz they´re all scared.
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
That´s the way of the world
