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 Bridge 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 Bridge Chorus
