It's a War

When they take away your right

To stand up for what you believe or say what's on your mind

Try to break you inside

Try to take what's yours and make it theirs and act like that's alright, no…

Oh yeah it's a war, it's a war they are waging

(It's a war, it's a war yeah)

Oh yeah it's a war, it's a war that they're waging

(It's a war, it's a war yeah)

I swear look over there it's amazing

(It's a war, it's a war yeah)

How they get away with all the liberties they're taking

When you speak up for the oppressed

Or anyone that you can see suffering prejudice

Stand your ground no matter who you upset

The way you go about it no care for the consequence, no…

Oh yeah, it's a war, it's a war you are waging

(It's a war, it's a war yeah)

Oh yeah it's a war, it's a war that you're waging

(It's a war, it's a war yeah)

I swear look over there it's amazing

(They just keep on hating)

They don't like the way that you are behaving

(They just keep on hating, hating, hating)

Oh yeah oh yeah

(Hating, hating)

It's a war, it's a war, it's a war, oh yeah, oh yeah

(They just keep on hating, hating, hating)

It's a war, it's a war, it's war, oh yeah, oh yeah

(They just keep on hating and hating and hating and keep on hating ya)

When you protest and you picket

Man you waging war on the wicked

They ain't gonna have you out here trying to expose them, no…

And the bad man are winning

They've been waging war on you from the beginning

And you just ain't gon' have it when they try and control things, so…

Oh yeah, it's a war, it's a war you are waging

(It's a war, it's a war yeah)

Oh yeah it's a war, it's a war they are waging

(It's a war, it's a war yeah)

I swear look over there it's amazing

(It's a war, it's a war yeah)

How they get away with all the liberties they're taking

(It's a war yeah)
