The moon is full and I'm awake And I don't know how much I can take Before I get too angry to be sad Too many people thinkin' mean Good ones few and far between Takin' out on you What they never had It's a war, war War any more It's a war, war War every day You've got to keep your guard up If someone else is hard up He'll try to steal your dreams away Once I thought of compassion as A feelin' everybody has Do unto others That's the golden rule But I found to my regret People I had never met Were out to get me - I was just a fool It's a war, war War any more It's a war, war War every day You've got to keep your guard up If someone else is hard up He'll try to steal your dreams away
