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
