Aww man, so little time, so much to deal with
|
It seems like everything passes me on, turns me off, messes me up, draws me in
|
Or just plain bums me out
|
I crack my head and I try to get over it
|
I stub my toes and I try to pass under it
|
My existence is like trying to breath in a big rock
|
I inhale and it hits me hard
|
I pay guys with guns to protect me from guys with guns
|
Some man in a suit is tellin' me to drop dead so i can live happily ever after
|
There's a guy in the mirror whose always in my face
|
Aw man, sometimes I think I'm goin' insane
|
|
BRIDGE: Don't lose your mind when you're running through a mine field
|
Don't stop rollin' when you're rolling on the real wheel
|
You've got a lot to lie right in the eye
|
And not be afraid to see too clearly
|
Makes no difference if it's night or day
|
Well take a look around and say...
|
|
CHORUS: It's Wartime (x4)
|
|
Yeah you know what I'm talkin' about man
|
That's exactly what I'm talkin' about
|
The most important thing is to maintain
|
Sometimes it's all you can do is just to maintain
|
Sometimes it's all you can do is go and put a gun to your brain
|
Sometimes it's all you can do just to maintain
|
Lookin' out on the streets seein' those screaming rats racin'
|
Runnin' wild like mindless idiots will run wild
|
I can't believe the groove they's use
|
Years, eyes cried, feelings, eyes lie
|
Talkin' bout changin' but remaining the same
|
Shameless, meanless, free from blame, man
|
It's enough to make you wanna do somethin' down right stupid
|
It's enough to make you wanna do somethin' down right sick
|

CHORUS
|
So now you know what the deal is
|
The time is wartime, wartime is here, it's all around you
|
You can't close your eyes and make it go away
|
You be alive right here, right now, right here, here and now
|
It's who you're dealing with
|
............ 24 hours a day warpath reality
|
It's a full time thing, you gotta deal with it
|
You hang on, you'll be alright
|
You gotta keep movin' in a positive forward direction
|
If you let them, they will destroy you
|
Don't let them - Save yourself
|
They will not destroy me
