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
[Chorus:]
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
