Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Uncivil war, uncivil war
How long must we fight this uncivil war?
Same old wounds we opened before
Nobody wins an uncivil war
[Verse 2]
The lines are drawn, gloves are off
Smiles are gone, we're all talking tough
You curse me out and I cuss back
Everything we love is under attack
[Verse 3]
The spirits are back in rags blue and gray
Thought they were gone but they won't go away
[Verse 4]
Uncivil war, uncivil war
How long must we fight this uncivil war?
Same old wounds we opened before
Nobody wins an uncivil war
[Verse 5]
You're sure you're right, I'm sure you're wrong
Why can't we all just get along?
You yell "fake" and I yell "real"
Nobody seems to care how the other guy feels
[Verse 6]
Keeping count of each other's sins
Only problem is nobody wins
[Verse 7]
An uncivil war, uncivil war
How long must we fight this uncivil war?
Same old wounds we opened before
Nobody wins an uncivil war
[Verse 8]
It's time to chill, agree to disagree
Cut out all the hostility
Call off the fighting and bring it to an end
We can shake hands and be friends again
[Verse 9]
Nobody's backing down, some won't even talk
The table's empty, we all took a walk
He says "left," she says "right"
One says "peace," the other says "fight"
[Verse 10]
One hand's a palm, the other's a fist
Another chance for love just got missed
[Verse 11]
Uncivil war, uncivil war
How long must we fight this uncivil war?
Same old wounds we opened before
Nobody wins an uncivil war
Nobody wins an uncivil war
