Someone Else's War

SOMEONE ELSE’S WAR

I’m tired of fighting someone else’s war

What the hell have I been fighting for

Just helping someone else even the score

For a game I don’t play

I’m tired of fighting someone else’s fight

It’s tough to know which side is wrong and which is right

Because the other side is dark when you’re blinded by the light

Blinded by the light of day

(and being led astray)

CHORUS

Who’s fighting for me

Who’s fighting for you

I don’t know who to believe

And what is or isn’t true

I’m just so sick and tired of it all

I’m tired of paying someone else’s debt

I’m tired of losing when I’m not laying the bet

All these hands in my pockets that are trying to get

What little there is that’s mine

I’m tired of singing someone else’s song

I can do much more than just sing a long

I can hear the melody is just all wrong

And it doesn’t even rhyme

I’m tired of living off of someone else’s scraps

Telling me to pull up my own bootstraps

The rat race builds its own mousetraps

To keep the mice in line

BRIDGE

Oh, I keep wondering if I’m insane

’Cause I keep thinking things will change

I’m tired of fighting someone else’s war

So that those who’ve got can get some more

The problem with being everyone’s whore

Is you get screwed every way
