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
