We fight the war but the war is never won, it’s the war inside of us, not the one with the gun

Everyday is a new battle, a struggle to survive, to get by in life

I try again, again, and again, every application is turned down, maybe it’s my pen

Now I’ve got nothing to do, nothing to eat, so maybe I’ll sleep

Rich stay rich, poor stay poor, but we’re all losing this war

Rich stay rich, poor stay poor, but we’re all losing this war

Sleeping on the streets is a rough, rough life, it’s a really tough life and I’ll tell you why

Lose your kids, lose your wife, lose everything you once had in life

When did it begin and when will it end? The vicious cycle that’s killing our men

And women who try to rise above the plight, the conflict, the struggle, the test of their might

Rich stay rich, poor stay poor, but we’re all losing this war

Rich stay rich, poor stay poor, but we’re all losing this war
