I don't want to be no soldier I don't want to shoot no gun I don't want to drop no bomb I don't want to hurt no one I don't want to fight no battles I don't want to settle no score I don't even understand What we're fighting for No, it ain't no war It's the way of the world That's what they tell me It's the way of the world They can't sell me It's the way of the world Can't explain it It's the way of the world We can change it We're burning up the ozone layer Walking on a real thin wire We're throwing up a hurricane Playing 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 It's the way of the world That's what they tell me It's the way of the world They can't sell me It's the way of the world Can't explain it It's the way of the world We can change it I want to live in peace now With my guitar and my girl Raise a little family That's the way it's supposed to be That's the way of the world 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 It's the way of the world Can't explain it It's the way of the world We can change it That's the way of the world That's the way of the world
