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
