Lyrics for Song: The Civil Wars 
Lyrics for Album: Feelings [1997]
  
               
  32016>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
 
 
  The war is in me, the war is in you
  The war is in everybody now
  Shake this tone, out of control
 
 
  They are fightin' with knives and forks
  Demonstrating how democracy works
  God's good and God is great
  So I wear my happy face
 
 
  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
  There'll be a celebration
  Johnny comes marching home
  His eyes are on the ceiling
  It ain't no fashion show
  A heavy situation
  Does things to your skin
  Although it ain't no party
  Dying to get in
 
 
  Sex is something if it's looking good
  A ceasefire in the neighbourhood
  We bleed and stain the carpet
  We start our own republic
 
 
  The war is in me, the war is in you
  The war is in everybody now
  The greatest look
  In heaven above
 
 
  There'll be a celebration
  Johnny comes marching home
  His eyes are on the ceiling
  It ain't no fashion show
  A heavy situation
  Does things to your skin
  Although it ain't no party
  Dying to get in
