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 we got a lot of dirty water - we got a lot of dirty air got skeletons in the closet - but nobody looks in there cuz they're all scared
chorus
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 that's the way of the world
