[Verse 1]
I got a right to be out on my mind
I got a right to be who I am
Love me, love my problems
The good times and the rotten

[Chorus]
The war is in me, the war is in you
The war is in everybody now
Shake this tone, out of control

[Verse 2]
They are fightin' with knives and forks
Demonstrating how democracy works
God's good and God is great
So I wear my happy face

[Chorus]
The war is in you, the war is in me
The war is in everybody now
The wolf is loose, he's living in you

[Bridge]
There'll be a celebration
Johnny comes marching home
His eyes are on the ceiling
It ain't no fashion show
A hairy situation
Does things to your skin
Although it ain't no party
You're dying to get in
[Verse 3]
Sex is something if it's looking good
A ceasefire in the neighborhood
We bleed and stain the carpet
We start our own republic

[Chorus]
The war is in me, the war is in you
The war is in everybody now
The greatest look
In heaven above

[Outro]
There'll be a celebration
Johnny comes marching home
His eyes are on the ceiling
It ain't no fashion show
A hairy situation
Does things to your skin
Although it ain't no party
Dying to get in
