Lyrics

We are prisoners of war
Looking out through prison bars
Some see mud and some see stars
We're just prisoners of war
Some are young, some are old
Some are weak and some are bold
Some are free and cannot be sold
You and me must carry our load
We are prisoners of war
Looking out through prison bars
Some see mud and some see stars
We're just prisoners of war
On this third planet from the sun
Seems like God was only having fun
All of life ain't nothing, nothing but a pun, my son
And there's no escape velocity
'Cause there's so much animosity
We're going 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round
'Til love can be found
We are prisoners of war
Looking for a better door for sure
And I know we're not going far
We're just prisoners of war
Some are young and some are old
Some are weak and some are bold
Some are lost and some are found
Gravity holds us down
Prisoners of war
Prisoners of war, that's all we are
Prisoners of war
Prisoners of war, that's all we are
Prisoners of war
Prisoners of war
Prisoners of war
Prisoners of war
Prisoners of war
Prisoners of war
