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.
