Hopeless War

A battle's raging in my head I swear, your friends, they wanted me dead I never would have fought before But the Socs, they declared this war But this war, it eats you up inside Till you're blinded by your foolish pride When you only see the world one way It's only black and white, but never grey One by one, we fall in line The same mistake, a thousand times Doing what we've all been raised to do Now Johnny's hurt and Bob has died When will we be satisfied? I know somewhere inside of you, you feel the same way too It's a hopeless war we're fighting And we don't even know what for The truth is Even in the end Even if you win It doesn't change a thing You'll still be the losers Destined to fail And we'll be the lucky ones Got the whole world by the tail I came to you because I thought you might be The only one who understands This hopeless war is so completely Hopeless in the end I can't sit this one out--I just can't
