Life During Wartime lyrics
by Billie Joe Armstrong
Yeah we say making changes starts in the little things you do
"Revolution begins at home" but for most of us it ends there, too
We're doing something, we're making changes
Like changing the brand of crap we buy
We say it makes a difference
But that's just another lie
It used to be Us and Them, and You and Me
And now we can't reach our potential without a common enemy
A real war to fight against
Instead of our petty disagreements
But how can I rationalize my life during wartime?
Lie
A call to action and a reaction
Taking our lives in our own hands
Instead of sitting around talking
About the same old stupid bands
But war is going on right now
And I'm not doing anything about it
Without a crowd, I'm not so loud
I can't do anything by myself
That's just another lie
