[Verse 1: Gareth, Los Campesinos!]
This fucking city
Is run by pigs
They take the rights away from
All the kids

[Chorus: Gareth, Los Campesinos!]
Understand
We're fighting a war we can't win
They hate us (We hate them)
We can't win (No way)

[Verse 2: Gareth & Aleks, Los Campesinos!]
Walk down the street
I flip them off (I flip them off)
They hit me across the head
With a billy club

[Chorus: Gareth & Aleks, Los Campesinos!]
Understand
We're fighting a war we can't win
They hate us (We hate them)
(Oh, shit)

[Verse 3: Gareth, Los Campesinos!]
Nothing I do (Nothing I do)
Nothing I say (Nothing I say)
I tell them, "Go get fucked"
They put me away
[Chorus: Gareth & Aleks, Los Campesinos!]
Understand
We're fighting a war we can't win
They hate us (We hate them)
We can't win (No way)

[Verse 4: Gareth]
I go to court for my crime
I stand in line and I pay bail
I am tragically aware of the fact
That I may serve time

[Chorus: Los Campesinos!]
Understand
We're fighting a war we can't win
They hate us, we hate them
We can't win
No way
