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
