we'll come home when the battle's over
we'll come home with clothes all drenched in blood
this is the life we chose
this is how the story goes
for those who fight in the third world war
its us against the world today
you know could go on forever (forever)
pollute our minds with what they say
you gatta run alone but i know it aint so (aint so)
we can have it our own way
but we gatta learn to work together (together)
i see them capitalizing on other peoples woes
i see them on the streets and everywhere i go
we'll come home when the battle's over
we'll come home with clothes all drenched in blood
this is the life we chose
this is how the story goes
for those who fight in the third world war
you try to understand everything we say
you try to a***yze everywhing we do
ask me what it is that we're fighting for
its for freedom that we fight the third world war
living in the world today
i see that things could be much better (better)
but im never gonna give up
not gonna lay my head down, no never (never)
you live your life for just one day
the faceless never remebered (remembered)
i see them capitalizing on other peoples woes
i see them on the streets and everywhere i go
we'll come home when the battle's over
we'll come home with clothes all drenched in blood
this is the life we chose
this is how the story goes
