This ain't no battle honey, this ain't no fight   How come you take it so hard when I stay out all night   If I take a drink, is that against the law   And if I have a good time, do you call that an act of war      Well you better believe it boy, this house is your home   I didn't build it up for you to live here on my own   And if you think it's easy to forget about me   You'd better think twice, you'd better believe it's an act of war      We're living on the front line you and me   Fighting on this battleground of misery   Oh go ahead bring on your artillery   And we'll make this an act of war   Give it all you've got `cause I'm all dug in   Keep the punches coming I can take them on the chin   Winner takes all, let the best man win   And we call it an act of war      Well I'm a man of convenience I work a long hard day   After twelve long hours ain't I got the right to play   If living together is getting in the way   Then I call that an act of war      Well if that's your game then honey two can play   I'm going on the town tonight and have some fun my way   Ain't no way baby this girl's gonna stay   I call it, I call it an act of war      And it looks like time ain't been on our side   If we could turn the clock back   We might survive this act of war
